D-Link AP in Bridge mode

Just a simple question:

What should I expect to see when 2 D-Link APs are actually
communicating in bridge mode?

Do you see one bridge appear as a connected PC on the other bridge?

The reason I ask is because I'm trying to get 2 bridges to talk to
each other, but am not sure how to tell when it happens.

The APs are DWL-2000+.

Thanks.

I have 2 900AP+ setup in bridge mode and no they do not come up
anywhere except their individual setup screens that are tied to their
ip addresses. I know they are working because when I plug a computer
into the one in the basement and it goes on the net, then the bridge
is working. I do not have any wires from bridge to bridge so if the
computers are on the net, then the bridge is working.

That's what I was hoping not to hear.

So simply pinging from a computer on 1 end to a computer on the other
should tell me when 'first contact' happens.

Thanks.

I never used the ping command so can't say but probably. Just go to
network neighborhood and if they can be accessed than it is working.
