Hi everyone. Sorry to launch into a long question with my first post, and I am ashamed that I can't figure this out myself
- but I'd be very grateful for your help.
My system is:
PowerBook G4 867MHz with AirPort Extreme card
AirPort Express base station (software v6.2)
D-Link DSL-300T ADSL modem
BT Broadband
Apple, D-Link and BT all say that the others' equipment is compatible with theirs, and diagnostics they've gone through with me over the phone seem to show up no problems. Printer sharing and AirTunes are working OK, and yet I can't connect to the net!
D-Link tells me that modem should be acting as a bridge with DHCP turned off, so that the base station can act as the DHCP server. However, the modem setup is accessed via a web browser (pointing at 192.168.1.1) and as soon as I turn off DHCP, I can no longer access these pages at all.
How should I set up the modem and the AirPort Express so they talk to each other and I can see the outside world?
Thanks...
