Problems setting up D-Link repeater

Router: D-Link DI-524
Repeater: D-Link DWL-G710

I am trying to set up a repeater by getting into its web interface
to choose the SSID of the router, but am having problems. I am
directly connected (wired) to the repeater to access its config
pages. The repeater is 192.168.0.30 and I set a static address
on my laptop of 192.168.0.101 for the wired connection. I cannot
access the repeater if I have both the wired connection and the
client radio, or only the client radio, on at the same time.

So when it comes time to do the site survey on the repeater, I
tried plugging the client radio into the laptop but of course it
then loses connection to the repeater and cannot complete the
survey.

What can I do to get around this problem?

plug the repeater into the router and use your laptops wireless connection
to access the repeater via the router........
