Hi,
Am planning to set up a wireless network for MAINLY cable internet sharing between desktop and notebook.
1. Currently my cable provider gives me a fixed IP address which I have to enter along with subnet mask, default gateway and DNS server in the LAN properties>TCP IP Properties.
I read that when you install the Dlink or Linksys router you have to leave that tab selected to BTAIN IP ADDRESS AUTOMATICALLY:
Then where do I enter the IP addrees given by my cab;le guy. Will this whole thing work or will I waste my money? I cannot try and then buy as I need to order from abroad.
2. Is the cable modem and router desigfned to be kept ON all the time?
3. Will 802.11b/g work at about 40 feet with two brick walls inbetween?
