Wireless routing problem

Just got a Linksys WRT54G, and have connected it to the LAN.
I'm currently using it as just a router, as I have another
box setup as the gateway, which is using dialup.

The WRT54G has a default IP of 192.168.1.1, which is fine
when I ping it from the notebook, and can also ping the
other machines on the network if I set them to use 192.168.1.x
values. I get problems however when I change the WRT54G to
IP 192.168.0.3 and other machines to 192.168.0.x values.
In this case I can't even ping the router IP of 192.168.0.3
from the notebook.

I could just set my network to use the 192.168.1.x IPs,
although I'd rather understand why there is a problem there.

The routing table in the WRT54G is by default
DEST NETMASK GATEWAY
192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 LAN & Wireless

When I changed it to use the 192.168.0.0 IPs, I changed it to:
192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 LAN & Wireless

But it didn't do any good.


But also, even if I do use the 192.168.1.x IPs, I'm still
left with a problem, I think. That is routing through the
gateway.

While I can see the other machines on the network using the
above IPs, I will surely also need a second routing entry
in the table to send packets through the gateway, i.e.
DEST NETMASK GATEWAY
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 LAN & Wireless

Problem is I can't enter those values into the routing table,
as it reports them as being invalid.


Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Shane.

Got it sorted out after, didn't need to mess around
with the WRT54G's routing.
Although I still needed to change my network IPs to
match that of the WRT54G's, instead of the other
way around.
