Well, I unpacked my Belkin 802.11g (54Mbps) 4-Port Wireless Router, model number F5D7230-4. <snip> I have InJoy Firewasll Professional set up.  My "server" (running only "File and Print services currently) and my T30 notebook, [being] on the same side of the router connection to the Internet [will] be able to speak directly to one another via wireless LAN connection.  <snip>

 Mark,
Are you confused about what you have?  

[I was.  But, not any more.]  <snip>

Looking at the Belkin site this model appears to be an access point with NAT, router, and a 4 point switch.  RTFM and set it up.  Have a great 4th.

I did.  The print manual has no index and only
one page where it states that it can be set up as
an Access Point.  And, the documentation available
at the Belkin website is much better than their
print manual.  The router can be configured via a
web-based interface.

Only I had a great deal of difficulty using it
because I edited setup.cmd but forgot to edit
protocol.ini, so it was still loading fxwrap.sys
in front of the NIC.  I'll uninstall it before I
begin again.  All of the router lights indicated
that the hardware was properly connected and
functioning.  It just kept searching fruitlessly
for a connection.

But, perhaps I don't understand the process well
enough.  Is there any online -- or print --
tutorial that would help me to at least avoid
elementary mistakes before I dive in again?

TIA,

- Mark
