Here's the scenario. I have DirecWay broadband coming into a PC (it cannot connect straight to Macs unfortunately). Also connected to the PC is a D-Link wireless access point. I can use this with a Titanium PowerBook connected over AirPort to access the Internet. So far, so good.
However, I have three other Macs in the house: a 6100, a Beige G3, and a Revision C iMac. None of these three can have wireless added directly (the 6100 has a NuBus slot which is blocked by a processor upgrade, the Rev.C iMac has no slots at all, and all three slots on the Beige G3 are full). Rewiring the house is not an option, so I need to get them onto the network wirelessly.
I have two D-link wireless Ethernet bridges, connected to the 6100 and the iMac. The Beige G3 is connected directly to an AirPort Base Station (Graphite) from my previous wireless networking setup. So far, I have not been able to get any of the three computers to see the network, however the three pieces of hardware all seem to indicate a good connection.
If I can figure out how to get the Beige G3 (which runs Jaguar) onto the network, I can probably figure out the other machines. So the question becomes, how do I configure an AirPort Base Station to act as a bridge from another wireless network to the wired side?
