Subject: [OS2Wireless] LinkSys WRT54G bridge help?

For several reasons I with an R40 ThinkPad and a friend with an R51 and T43P 
ThinkPad settled on not trying to push toward wireless connections with the 
available built in hardware for that.  We both originally totally successfully 
using LinkSys WRT45G Wireless Bridge units a long time back.  

Disaster hit.  Here total connection interface to a public wireless network in 
her RV park went re-config after a complete direct lighting hit on the RV park 
admin building.  Mine partially blew up when my own private encrypted wireless 
network I enabled here shifted 'successfully' to complete new vendor IP 
operations via my onw LinkSys WRT54GL unit.  It works perfectly with hard 
wired network units tied to it.  

It works only partly with my R40 ThinkPad against the same LinkSys WRT54G 
Wireless Bridge that was working perfectly before the addressing and DCHP 
server changes which came when the IP provider shifted ranks.

Per my recall, I was able to do the entire Wireless Bridge setup initially 
under OS/2 using the 'conventional' 192.168.1.226 assigned connection to it 
from my R40.  And from memory and the old history in Seamonkey, that's exactly 
what I did back then,  But now, though I have very garbaged IP URL site 
connective completion via this operation, I cannot connect at all to the 
Bridge with 192.168.1.226.  

My friend is in exactly the same predicament!  She cannot connect at all to 
her Bridge this way.  And in her case, there is no bridged connection to the 
RV park wireless operation either.  

In the case of the 'standard' LinkSys setup, you plug a Windows box into the 
port andcram the Windows CD-ROM into the computer.  The 'Setup' program is a 
Windows executable.  I read, and think I may have it right, that until you do 
a 'valid' setup with Windows first, you cannot do the 192,168.1.226 connection 
stunt to change things.  Is that correct?  I don't think I ever did this in my 
case. 

But neither I nor my friend have a current functional lap top on Windows 
working at all where at the time both of us did.  I'm sort of afraid to punch 
the 'reset' button on my Bridge to test things, let alone counsel her to do 
that on hers!  

Any advice here on Wireless for OS/2 in this fashion?  

Thank you!
