I could REALLY use someone's help. Ive searched this board and I think I've followed every direction. I've also searched a few CE networking sites but still can't get Internet of my PC with the ePods. I've got a D-Link DWL-1000AP Access Point on a Ethernet Hub along with my Cable Modem. PC is running WinME. Desktop access to the cable modem works fine. My wireless card is one of those Dell (Aironet) 4800LT cards (PCC4805LT). I've messed with every possible setting on the ePods and the desktop. Does anyone have this same setup? I've used the Cisco utilities and I'm getting great signal between the card and the access point. When I enterd the suggested IP and Gateway into the properties of the Aironet card the ePods 'took longer' and 'searched' before it failed to find a site in IE. When I exit the D-Link utility, I get an APC.DLL error and have to reboot but the Access Point seems to update.
Any suggestions? I've spent countless hours tweaking this thing and, even if it is slow, I'd like to get something out of my Access Point investment. I'd even make a PayPal donation to the person who helps me figure this thing out.

Feel free to e-mail me directly at aps@ureach.com
I'd also do a Netmeeting session if someone is feeling really generous.
One possible source for your problems... The 4800LT card has some
compatibility issues with standard 802.11b equipment. Goto Cisco.com
and search around.
I recall reading about problems with the 4800LT when I saw a posting
advertising availability of the 4800LT for a really low price and I
considered buying one.

You might want to do a search for the 2 Meg bronze Wavelans. Someone saw them for $30. I use both bronze and silver with epods and a wavelan 1000 bridge...work well.

Your post states that your PC, cable modem, and access point are all on the same LAN. This will probably not work as most cable modem providers only provide 1 IP address per subscriber. They do this by locking the IP address they provide to the MAC address of the device that initially requests the address. Subsequent requests from other MAC addresses will be refused.
To get around this, get one of the DSL/Cable modem NAT boxes. I saw the SMC Barricade (NAT + Print Server + 4 port 10/100 switch) at Egghead.com for $79 after $20 rebate last week. When you set up the NAT box you will need to set it to use the MAC address of your PC on the Cable Modem side. That way your cable provider will be none the wiser about your setup.
Let me know if this solves your problem.

If u have an extra pc (u can just about any type of PC running 98 SE) with two NIC cards; just run MS ICS on it. Hook one NIC to you INET connection and the other to your internal network. It will NAT to your internal network. ICS will act as a primitive Firewall but u can also install firewall software to protect pc. Later on you may want to go to more robust types of software. You can even use this for VPN connection (not with ICS though). In my opinion this is a better solution than a cheap firewall router and allows more flexibility. MS has some flexibility (with opening certain ports) but u have to play with some reg properties.
