Linksys WET54G cannot communicate over ethernet

Got a connectivity issue with the above device.

I have configured it a couple of times now with the same results.

Basically I configure via ethernet on my machine, attach to another,
the Bridge picks up an IP address from the AP, I can ping the AP and
Bridge from my machine via my wireless PCI card. I cannot however
ping the Bridge from the machine it is connected to via ethernet.
They are on the same subnet. If i put the bridge back on my machine I
can ping it over Ethernet. If I use a dlink ethernet bridge on the
other PC it works.

Any Ideas, since has got to be somethng simple!

Thanks

Gary

I had similar problem with WPC54G and WRK54G. I had to: 1. fix the router's IP address different and above (later in sequence) than my firewall router, 2. disable DHCP on the wireless router to keep it from conflicting with my firewall router, 3. disable MAC filtering Hope this helps -- lfbilancia brought to you by http://www.wifi-forum.com/
