Re: WRT54G - Static IP and 4100B modem in bridge mode - Help
Assuming that you have one PC fully functional to surf the internet when directly connected to the 4100B in Bridged mode, here is the other info you will need to configure the Linksys for your LAN.
I recommend that you assign fixed IPs to each of your PCs, as this appears to work more robustly than using dynamic IPs. I will therefore give you info assuming fixed IPs [but with the ability to automatically assign IPs starting at 200].
After entering all settings, power cycle the PCs, the WRT54G and the modem [a little power cycling goes a long way!]
Try it with one PC first [to verify that everything is OK].
[NOTE: I did not have to change anything in my WRT54G configuration to swap in the SS 4100B. I am able to interchange the Alcatel 1000 with the 4100B just by swapping cables.]
