I am having no end of difficulties with adding a WLAN to my existing network. We have the following scenario:
T1
\
Wide Open Router
|
Firewall Router
/
Win2K DHCP Server for Network (also file server)
|
ENet Switch -- Win Desktops (2K and XP)
| {issue here - no access to Internet, Network Server... etc}
|
WLAN -- Desktops
Settings on WLAN Router:
Automatic Configuration - DHCP
Router Name : WRT54GS
No Host Name, No Domain Name signified
Local IP: 192.168.0.130
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
DHCP Server: Disabled
Operating Mode: Router
Dynamic Routing: RIP: LAN & Wireless
No Static Routing Enabled
Firewall Disabled
Settings on Server:
Local IP: 192.168.0.1
Routing enabled
I have tried setting scopes, reservations and still no luck. What am I missing?!

Really, people?! No one has seen or attempted the scenario listed?

I am unclear what your issue is.
You say your problem is with the WLAN but seem to indicate the wired PCs have no access to Internet, Network Server... etc. Do the wired PCs get internet ?
What scope is your DHCP service set for, IP address range.
How is the WLAN router connected to the switch - by its WAN port ?

Shut off the DHCP on the Wireless router. Let the Win2K handle DHCP. This will ensure the wireless workstations end up with IP settings for the same network as servers and internet gateways.

Is the dhcp on, on either one of your routers leading to the t1 (just checking the simple stuff).
Does 2k get an ip address from your isp thru the routers? or is a router taking the isp's ip and them passing along a lan ip to the dhcp?
im just trying to establish that your dhcp/file server has an active itnernet connection, posting some of the ip addresses would be helpful.

None of the routers are managing DHCP. Firewall has the IP from the ISP. 2k server uses 192.168s.
Also note that I tried changing the WLAN Router to a Static route of 10.0.0.1 and was able to ping the 2K network and Firewall but not vice versa.
Per your request:
Active IPs:
T1 Modem: 66.x.y.146 ( not a problem here )
External Network
On Firewall: from ISP:
IP: 66.x.y.148
DG: 66.x.y.147 (for Router just in front of the Firewall (This is in use as there's another network running that doesn't bridge to this one))
Trusted Network
IP: 192.169.0.1
SM: 255.255.255.0
1st IP: 192.168.0.2
on DHCP Server: 192.168.0.100-150
on WLAN : Static Route to Network: 192.168.0.90
the wired PCs have no access to Internet, Network Server... etc. Do the wired PCs get internet ?

All PCs on existing network have internet and Server. Wireless or Wired directly into the new WLAN router - no access. See above for IP range. WLAN connected to switch same way wired PCs are - but yes through WAN port. With everything plugged in and router on - all lites are on. I have another switch on my desk to manage all the connections I use in the office and it's lites denote that it's seeing the new connection. All other PCs not going through the WLAN router access everything as intended.

There were some new posts in other threads over the last couple days that were able to assist in my issue. Just to apprise all of you, I was using the WRT54GS as a router, when all I really needed was a switch. Removing LAN access cable from the Internet port and putting it in Port 1 allowed the WRT54GS to then act as a switch.
DHCP Server didn't need any new scopes, reservations or routes annotated. Firewall didn't need any port forwarding or static routes set. Just move the cable from one physical port to another. Thanks to all that tried to assist.
