Well, now back to my original problem. I have two run of the mill routers. I have a LinkSys WRT54G router/WAP that is connected to the cable modem. My shop building is too far away (120+ft) from the Linksys to make an effective wireless connection out here, but I have ethernet running from the Linksys to the shop building. I have an old Netgear WGR614 router/WAP that I can stick on the end of the ethernet cable, and I can establish a network connection, I can get to the internet, etc. That's all cool. The problem I have is that I can't get to our shared drive (Buffalo Link Station NAS), which uses SMB, that has the bulk of our music on it. I could live without it, but it would be nice to have, and still be wireless. So, how do I configure the Netgear to "pass thru" the SMB traffic. I guess I want to set The Netgear up as a bridge, but donot see any way to do that.
Any thoughts on that one?
You definitely want the WGR614 as a bridge.
