    Trying to figure this out and it's really frustrating that I can't get this to work.

    All computers are running windows XP.

    We have cable for internet.

    The cable runs from the street into our house by our fuse box and into a cable modem.

    From there it's RJ45'd into my linksys router in switch mode (192.168.1.1). This is my office/LAN game area.

    We strung cat 5e to the other side of the basement where we have a patch panel (previous owner) to all the rooms in our house. I put an 8 hub there (IP addy unkown). We've been running static IP's all around and have had nothing but good results.

    My wife got a linksys four port wireless router (defaulted to 192.168.1.1) from a fire sale and she wants DHCP broadcasting upstairs.

    Here's what I did...

    Upstairs wireless router IP changed to 192.168.1.2.

    Broadcasting DHCP but limited the range to 192.168.1.200 - 192.168.1.220

    In the TCP/IP property settings of the computers plugged in, we're still using static IPs and they work fine with these number plugged in...
    Radio button on "Use the following"
    IP addy = 192.168.1.10-199
    Gateway = 192.168.1.1

    When I try to configure a laptop for a wireless connection, what should the TCP/IP properties look like because I think I've tried everything, we get a signal, we get a DHCP IP addy, just no Internet.

    what ever the routers ip address is, should be your gateway address.
