My internet connection is a x/DSL modem. The cable from the modem goes into an Accesspoint from SMC (
Link)
The router is useing DHCP and there is no problem getting an IP for my laptop, and there is plenty of IPs left for other computers (Range 4 to 200)
My laptop is runing Win XP Prof, if that is going to help you.
When it comes to security, then there is a 64 Bit encryption useing WEP. I am not useing 802.1x auth.
Please tell me if there are some detalis you would like to know.
