1.Ethernet + Wireless card - simple question

Hi - I have a W2K/SP4 machine and I've recently bought a linksys
wireless card (WPC54G) for it.

I just wanted to check I've done the right thing. All network adapters
on the LAN used fixed IP addresses - the ethernet adapter in the
machine is 192.168.10.5 and I've set up the wireless card to take
192.168.10.250.

When I configure the wireless card I get a dialog warning me (I think)
that both cards have the same gateway and is that OK ? I say Yes but I
have begun to wonder if it is OK - should the wireless be on a seperate
sub-net ?

The reason I'm wondering is that once I've logged off and logged back
on I find the TCP/IP settings have reverted to using DHCP to get the IP
address for the wireless card (difficult to do as there is no working
DHCP on the LAN !)

Any help appreciated.

thanks

Richard.

2.Newbie question re simple wireless network

Hi all. I'm in Australia. Have just installed a Belkin wireless G router and 
linked it to my existing Netcomm NB5. This enables my one laptop (ie a 
network of one!) to be portable around the house and works well on the Net. 
Now I'd like to be able to reach my MFC7420 printer (no Ethernet port --  
only USB) from my laptop wirelessly too. Do I do that with a little wireless 
box? If so, how does it not interfere with the router? BTW, does the whole 
shooting match work by spread spectrum frequency hopping?

Thanks all 

3.simple simple question about command-prompt window

Howdy::
  I can't figure out something about command-prompt window & it's
probably extremely-basic....
  Situation is: Only a small portion [the last portion] of the
command's results are showing up in the window, & I need to see ALL
the results.
  Example: I'm using the "dir" command, trying to get a complete
listing of all the folders & files in a directory named
   "G:\Master-Executables". There are probably 10 folders inside it &
numerous sub-folders containing hundreds of files. But when I run a
command like "dir /s/a/w/o:n", all I can see are the folders near the
alphabetical end of the results. I mean, I should have 15-20 windows'
worth of results, & all I can see is one.
  I apologize for my ignorance here, but this is driving me nuts....

  Thanks in advance for the help [:-P

4.Questions wireless printing with one wireless laptop

I need a new printer and was originally going to buy the HP Deskjet 460wf, 
which includes wireless. However, I have heard there are lots of problems 
with the wireless, and a friend recommended that I pursue a networked printer 
through an access point instead.

My set-up is as follows: My wireless router (and cable modem) are in my 
basement. I prefer to have my printer in my upstairs family room behind the 
couch. I do have a cable outlet in the family room, not far from where I keep 
the printer.

I'm confused by my options - here are my questions:
1. If the printer doesn't include wireless (i.e. the HP 460c), do I need to 
use a print server? 
2. If I buy a print server, does it matter if the printer is network-ready 
or not? (can it be any printer with a USB port?)
3. Mechanically, if I buy a print server, could I attach it to my cable 
outlet and printer upstairs?
4. Do I need a separate "access point" or is that synonymous with a print 
server?
5. Do you have any recommendations about which avenue I should pursue? (I 
really need a new printer, but am holding off until I figure out which route 
to pursue - I would like to allow for future variations, like a separate 
photo printer in my office)

5.wireless to wireless bridge question

I'm about to depart the hot southwest desert for the mountains in our
travel trailer.  Last year the WIFI service was marginal (mainly low
signal levels inside the trailer), so this year I've installed an
outside directional antenna on a rotor.  Since both my wife and I want
to use computers at the same time, I created an in trailer network.  

It consists of:  from the house Qwest(Actionteck) DSL modem to a
Linksys WET54g bridge(located in the trailer) (wired)  to a Linksys 4
port hub.  From the hub I connect (wired) to my computer.  Also,
(wired) to a Linksys WAP54g access point.  Connecting to the WAP54g
(wireless) is a WMB54g music bridge to the trailer audio system.  When
feeding audio from my computer the system works OK.

When I connected the laptop (wireless) to the WAP54g, I get a good
signal level connection, however when browsing the WEB, the screens
are somewhat jumbled or I get a "can't display that page" error.
Connecting directly (wireless) to the Qwest modem, things are OK.

Am I trying to do something that isn't feaseable?
Thanks

FYI, the coax feeding the WET54G is about 8 inches - I mounted the
WET54g just inside the roof and the antenna is just outside the roof.
Besides, the signal level is shown as 100% on both WIFI sources.
(Probably not quite the same, but certainly adaquate.)
