I'm really close to having Audrey wireless, I think/hope - was hoping I could get some help.

Quick rundown on my network: I'm running Windows XP connected to PPPoE DSL. I've got ICS enabled. So my IP is 192.168.0.1 internally, and I get a dynamic public IP whenever I connect to my ISP. I've got a 10/100 switch with the DSL modem plugged into the upstream, my PC plugged into a port, and a D-Link DWL-1000AP plugged into another port on the switch and configured correctly with IP 192.168.0.74. I've successfully connected a laptop wirelessly - it can get to the net through ICS or connect to my ISP (I get three connections).

In comes the audrey - I flashed her to jukebox's Another QNX Image v4.0 - awesome job on that, jukebox. When I plug her directly into my switch, she can hit webpages fine. In the next step, I added the Orinoco ethernet converter with an Orinoco gold card. So, my audrey is not plugged into the switch anymore, it's plugged into the wireless ethernet converter. I run some software from my PC to set the IP of the wireless ethernet coverter to 192.168.0.99. Works fine and I can ping it from my PC. But no love from audrey. I tried with USB dhcp (which I think is what it was set as when I succesfully had her on the switch) and get a black error dialog with an orange button in it.

So I tried giving her a fixed IP - should it be the same IP I gave to the ethernet converter? - with no luck. Does anybody have any suggestions for me? I know there are a couple people on the board that have gotten her to work with the Orinoco converter. Thanks for your help.

Can you give the complete run-down with settings and IP address stuff... such as Static or DHCP, etc.
