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!
