Just got hold of a US Robotics 5450 Wireless Access Point.

This is going into my home LAN which basically consists of my own PC running Windows XP and has an NTL modem connected through the USB port.

Im then using ICS to share this out to my LAN.

My network has no server all machines are in a workgroup.

In setting up the WAP to enable the 802.1x I have to specify a RADIUS server - why!?! And I dont have one!

 

Is that set up to run in infrastructure mode or ad-hoc ?

 

infrastructure

the WAP connects to my wired hub via a patch lead.

 

i've only got one ethernet card in my machine at the mo. and that one is being used to connet to the hub.

 

lol,sod yours,get mine done

 

yes you do


we have several in work.

but for home, you wont need one

setup WEP 128 bit and MAC security, and that will be fine

oh and once it is setup turn OFF broadcast SSID

 

ah so it will actually allow connections without one setup.

So far I can get the network broadcasting but I cant get anything to connect to it.

Pops, u're pc has progressed from the boot of me car to the landing at the top of the stairs
