I have a Windows 2000 PC that dials up and shares its internet
connection (using Win2K's built-in sharing). I connected the PC to a
Linksys BEFW11S4 wireless router and disabled DHCP through the
router's web interface (no other changes made). Didn't enable any
wireless security because I just wanted to make sure everything worked
first. Everything was fine (I'm typing this from my laptop w/ its wifi
card) but now of course I want to enable some kind of security. I
can't access the router's config page anymore, though. Any suggestions
you can give to remedy this situation would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
 
If you have turned DHCP off which IP address is your Wifi card using? Have
you assigned the card a static IP? You can get to the router is by manually
assigning the Wifi card an IP address that is in the same subnet as your
router.
For Example:
Routers IP: 192.168.1.1
Then you would assign your Wifi card 192.168.1.X something in that range.
