Right I haven't been able to spend much time sorting this out but here's some info for anyone that thinks they can help (*fingers crossed*)
Everything on my network has an IP of:
198.162.0.***
If I allow the access point to automatically select it's IP it selects as above, with the correct subnet mask. HOWEVER, the PC connected to it keeps selects 169.***.*.***, with an 'incorrect' subnet mask. At this point I get an error from the Bridge, asking me to align the IP with the PC's - which if I do it obviously goes on to 169....
The bridge is connected to my router with a high signal strength, and the default gateway is correct, but using the PC I can't see anything on the network, or access the net. PLEASE HELP!!
Apologies if this doesn't make a great deal of sense - I'm a noob at all this. But ask me any questions to clarify.
Thanks
