This is my setup
By blacksnakeuploads at 2011-12-03
I get broadband from a box that plugs into a LAN card (call it LAN1) on my desktop. I added a wireless access point (not a router, just a box with a single ethernet port and a separate power supply) and connected it to LAN2.
I can connect to the wireless AP from the PC via ethernet (just http://192.168.1.253 to get there from a browser). The wireless AP accepts connections, checks the password, but sticks on trying to obtain an IP address.
So I'm doing something wrong or need something else. Anyone know how I can get this working?
