I have a Siemens WiFi router that has an integrated print server. I want to use this in conjunction with a Dell Truemobile 2300 wireless router to add 802.11g. I have not had much success. I am looking for any good web resources or other sources for good information on the subject. I can't seem to get through to the internet from the Dell, which is set up as an access point. I am not sure if I should use a crossover cable or a straight through one. My machines are receiving the signal from both broadcast points, but the Dell side isn't making it to the internet.

If you have any suggestions, let me know. I might need to disable the wireless connection on one of the stations.

Thanks for your kindness, y'all. I am not very sophisticated when it comes to networking, but I sure do luv it when it works. . .

You are probably using default settings on the units. This would enable DHCP on both units, when you only can have ONE as the DHC server. I prefer to use the device closest to the cable modem as the DHCP server. Turn off the DHCP on the other device.
