My friend just bought a DLink DI-624 (revision C) and connected both his
Dell desktop and Toshiba Satellite A10 by Cat 5. Network worked fine.
Then we pulled the Cat 5 cable from the Toshiba and tried to connect
wirelessly. Started with no WEP, same default SSID (broadcast) and saw
excellent wireless connectivity.
No LAN or Internet. Toshiba kept getting an IP in the 169.xxx range. Toshiba
tech support advised to delete the bridge in Device Manager. Wireless LAN
now works fine.
At the office, the Toshiba gets wired into the network and it needs the
bridge, so local techie sets it back up.
At home at night, with bridge in, no wireless. Only solution from Toshiba is
to disable the bridge with wireless and enable it for ethernet.
This seems arcane.
Surely there's a better answer, but I don't know what it is.
