[s-cars] NAC: Adding a WAP to Wired Network

[Darin Nederhoff]

Hey guys,

Forgive the off topic post (from the list mod no less... oh the horror!)

Anyhow, I have a friend who doesn't know a PC from a toaster and he
has asked me to help him add wireless capability to his existing wired
network.  While I do have some comprehension of networks and wireless
networks, I've never had the pleasure of adding a WAP to a wired
network so I'm a n00b here as well.

The office has a Netgear FVS318 VPN Firewall and we've added a Linksys
WAP54G access point to an open port.  I can connect via wireless
laptop to both the Netgear router admin area as well as the Linksys
admin area via their respective IPs.  I can see all the office PCs
including the wireless laptop on the router connection table with
their assigned IP addresses.

My only problem is that the wireless laptop cannot connect to the
internet.   Any experts out there want to point me in the right
direction?

Thanks... and now back to your Scirocco and Omni discussions.   ;-)
