Home / Web Pads / Epods One General Post Wireless Networking setting up a windows xp network - nearly working!

Wireless Networking (modified 0 times) danielvangelder Profile | Email Hello. I have an epods, windows xp, the linksys wap11 access point and wpc11 wireless network card. Having read previous threads, I have managed to set up the network card so that the epod recognises it, and I get a green "light" in the status bar at the bottom right of the display to show that everything is linked. The IP of my PC is 192.168.1.4 and 192.168.1.3 for epods. I can ping the PC from the epods and visa versa so communications are OK but have no idea how to actually set up so that I can access the internet from my epods? I also cannot find any area in the network connections part of windows xp to set up wireless networking. Does anyone have any ideas for me please - I have looked everywhere in vain so far. Thanks very much Dan 11-17-2001 12:04:28

RE:Wireless Networking (modified 0 times) InNeedOfEpods Profile I had the same problem until I found something on this site. What you need to do is make the default gateway the IP of the PC with the shared internet connection. I also have this IP as the primary DNS but don't know if this is required.

RE:Wireless Networking (modified 0 times) vetteguy Profile I'm running into some problems also getting Terminal Services to work with my Epod through 802.11. My system with XP has an wired ethernet card that connects it to my Linux server that is serving out the internet connection. I added a PCI card with a 802.11 card installed in it (PCMCIA slot). If I have each card assigned its own IP address (192.168.0.2 on wired, 192.168.1.2 on wireless) I can ping my epods card (192.168.1.1) but when I try to access a web site on my XP box it can't find anything but terminal services works great. If I disable the wireless card in my XP box the internet works fine. If I bridge the two network cards in my XP box I can't ping the epod and terminal services doesn't work but the XP box can surf the net. A couple of times I got everything to work with each card having it's own IP but haven't been able to shut everything down and get it to repeat. I've been pullig my hair out to get to this point and would appreciate it if someone could point me in the direction of getting this last issue resolved. Thanks, Vetteguy 06-26-2002 21:20:02

RE:Wireless Networking (modified 0 times) Pat the Hack Profile It sounds like you need Internet Connection Sharing with your wired card as the Internet connection and your wireless card as the LAN. But you'd probably be better off with an inexpensive access point. I just picked one up for $69.00 after rebate (dlink DWL-900ap). Also found on eBay for ~$79 07-04-2002 17:48:33

RE:Wireless Networking (modified 0 times) vetteguy Profile No, I don't want to share the internet connection. I want to use terminal servicies on the wireless connection and the wired connection to connect the machine to the internet. Basically what most of the guys I've seen here using a wireless connection are doing. 07-07-2002 18:34:44

RE:Wireless Networking (modified 0 times) rapple Profile Sounds like a classic case of Windows TCP/IP broken-ness. When you install 2NIC cards, windows often messes up its own route tables. Open a DOS window and type ROUTE PRINT I suspect you'll show 2 routes for 0.0.0.0 You need to delete the one that points to the wireless network ROUTE DELETE 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.2 (Replace 192.168.0.2 with the actual gateway address listed.) If you run into trouble, post the output of the ROUTE PRINT command and we'll go from there.. 07-08-2002 16:22:15

RE:Wireless Networking (modified 0 times) rapple Profile You do need to get rid of the 0.0.0.0 route that points to the wireless network. I don't have XP so I don't have the exact syntax... try ROUTE ? You might also try ROUTE DELETE 0.0.0.0 and see if the right one is deleted.. 07-09-2002 22:23:57

RE:Wireless Networking (modified 0 times) vetteguy Profile Ok, I deleted 0.0.0.0 and then added back in 0.0.0.0 for the wired connection and everything worked great. Then I shut down my machine and restarted and now it has 2 0.0.0.0 entries again. Is there any way to fix this and make it stick through reboots. Thanks for the help rapple, I was pulling my hair out with this problem and in 2 messages you have hit right on the answer. 07-11-2002 20:37:22

RE:Wireless Networking (modified 0 times) rapple Profile Hmmmm... While I know alot about IP routing, I unfortunately know little about XP. Try this: Go to control panel / network and choose the wireless adapter. Open up the properties for IP and click on advanced. Choose 'gateways' and if there's an entry for 0.0.0.0 change the metric to 2. If there are no gateways listed, you can try adding one. You can use 192.168.1.2 as the gateway, just set the metric up to 2, that way even though you have 2 default routes,windows should use the one with the lesser metric. If you're using DHCP things might look a little different... If you get stuck, feel free to email me directly.... rapple-at-ciscodotcom 07-12-2002 21:21:58
