I just got a dlink pocket wireless ethernet router/AP
http://www.amazon.com/D-Link-WIRELE...y/dp/B005RCVDW0/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=132766
I had it hooked up yesterday for the first time and it IS nice I can get the whole way around three large machines with the laptop.
I had to change the local area connections IP address in my computer and the router to be compatible with the network of the three machines. I have to do this every time I want to connect to a different machine or the company network.
Is there a way I don't have to do this. what is the obtain IP address automatically option for? It is available on both the laptop and the router/AP.
I have had a great deal of aggravation with IP addresses because many times they are not known or whatever. What burns me up is that the computer HAS to be doing some sort of communication with the connected device (panel view etc )because the Network Icon in the taskbar lights up and says it is connected at 100Mbps or whatever it is.
What is the "obtain IP address automatically option" for? thank you
