Hi everybody,
My head will soon explode because of this problem. Please help.
I have a Linksys WRT54G v. 2.2 with Kamikaze (7.09) installed. I would like to set it up so that clients, both wired and wireless, can see each other and, at the same time, have access to the Internet which is available from another wireless AP. Please note that I do not have access to the other AP and so I cannot set up WDS.

wired client ----------+ wifi
WRT54G -------- Another AP -------- Internet
wireless client -------+

The problem is that when I set it up (see config files below), local network works, but I can't connect to the other AP (and Internet).

option ignore 1Now I have some questions:
1. Any idea why this doesn't work?
2. How can I get some extra information to explain connection problem between my WRT54G and the other AP?
3. The other AP offers addresses in 192.168.1.x range, does it mean I cannot use that range in my local network? (currently I don't)
4. The other AP works on channel 3, does it mean I need to use the same channel for my wireless network? (I guess so, because there's only one place to set channel number, so I use it)
5. The other AP uses WEP and I'd like to use WPA on my wireless network, can it be a problem?
Again, any help would be appreciated! Thank you!
