*How to configure a wireless ethernet bridge without a wired network* In order to configure an [[http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?childpagename=US%2FLayout&packedargs=c%3DL_Product_C2%26cid%3D1115416825363%26site%3DUS&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper][WET54GS5]] Ethernet Bridge you'll need to connect it to a wired network. If you don't have access to a wired network, say because you are using an Airport Express as your router, then you can reconfigure your machine to use a static IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.1) instead of using DHCP. Connect the bridge directly to your machine via the ethernet port. Then you can access the bridge configuration page via 192.168.1.226. --- *Can ping ip addresses, but not names?* I had a linux machine configured with a static 192.* ip address. When I tried pinging ip addresses outside my network (ie on the internet) it was fine, but when I tried pinging the same ip, but using it's DNS name, it failed. The answer was to add the ip address of my router to /etc/resolv.conf: =nameserver 192.168.1.1= If other nameservers appear in the list, make sure this server is above the others. Note: the ip address of your router (or nameserver) maybe different.
