    ..had this posted in the broadband board, but it'd probably be more suited to here, anyway, here goes >

    Right, just got an SMC2804WBR 802.11g router and have eventually managed to get both my PC's and my laptop (with d-link 802.11g card) to see each other and be able to transfer files etc. 54MBs connection throughout house and 1ms pings, so cushty.
    Few things I encountered though which I would be glad of any suggestions on, the SMC 'manual' is less than useless !

    1. Had to disable the built in DHCP option as I couldn't share my dial-up over it for some reason, even when I used the 192.168.0.x range So I had to leave my original 'gateway' PC to handle the DHCP and manually set its IP to the 192.168.0.1 My other PC and laptop now get their IP from this gateway PC.
    (UTV ADSL coming tomorrow, but as it's a USB modem I guess I'll have to leave it the way it is so as to share that connection).

    2. Cannot figure out the WEP/WPA/802.x security settings for my laptop, the laptop is asking for a network key in hex format, but the router control page only shows up asterix. Anybody got a link to a better router manual which I may be able to relate to my router, there are no instructions in my manual at all ! I have a totally insecure wireless network now ! had to turn all the security off in order to access the network.

    Any other links to 802.11g security settings/configurations would be nice also, as this is my first exposure to this protocol and setup.

    I must say though this wireless thing is fabulous, streaming mpegs and mp3’s over the air like this. Can’t wait to see how ADSL sharing works out.

    FYI for any prospective buyers:
    SMC2804WBR 802.11g router $99 ebay.com including p&p
    D-Link DWL-G650 PCMCIA card $55 ebay.com including p&p

    Thanks in advance.
