[QUOTE="haggard, post: 88467, member: 183237"] Yes, the wifi bridge is a way that works. My setup is almost the same as yours, Richard, except I have a Mac lap instead of yr (PC?) lap and I have the Linksys WET54G on the DB instead of X cable. Interestingly, when I tried an Apple airport extrme on the DB, I could talk from lap to either DB or the world but not both at once and the extreme never saw the world; i.e. same prob as yrs. Before you buy one (its sunday anyway), try this for interest. On main PC do start -> run -> cmd -> IP config and jot down the default gateway. do same for lap and see if they are the same. Stick, you say it is a star, but I am sure that I can see the Linksys from roving lap and so it extends the wifi range physically beyond the Linksys which is at other end of house from (d-Link) wifi router. i.e. Linksys is bridging my lap thru to main wifi router.
