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?
