trying to set up a network with fixed ip addresses as well as setting up a wireless network with dynamic addresses
I am trying to set up a wired network with fixed addresses for 3 computers with file and print sharing that I have completed now my question is this When I try to set up a wireless network using a ad hoc router bwg1000 the moment that I hook up the wireless router inline with computer that is running windows 7 ultimate 64 I get no internet what so ever. I am running a T1 line that is static ip and the modem requires that I use dynamic ip's How can this be done. thanks for any help

So you have a wired network that does not have a DHCP server and you want to easily connect a wireless laptop that normally uses a DHCP assigned IP address?You might look at NetSwitcher as a solution...http://www.netswitcher.com/...if the built-in alternate address functionality does not work for you...http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283676Also the free NetSetMan program as suggested by Squashman [MS-MVP] maybe an alternative... http://www.snapfiles.com/get/netsetman.htmlMS-MVP Windows Desktop Experience, "When all else fails, read the instructions"

Let me try this again I am running a T1 line that is set up with a real world address 63.**.**.** The wired network that is set up is on a static setting I have 3 different machines that are on the 63.**.**.** I just changed the last 2 digits per machine so that there are no conflicts. Now what my problem is I am also trying to set up a wireless Network on the same T1 Line as well. I have a network switch that splits the T1 into 2 different lines, One for the wired network and then one is for the wireless network. How can I set up the wireless router so that it will either accept the 63.**.**.** so that it can get online and then assign dynamic ip's 192.168.0.2 and so on. I am running an ad hoc bwg1000 wireless router any help would be great. thanks

Al is right, you need DHCP. fortunately your Bountifull router is like any internet share router like Linksys, netgear, Dilink.... etc....there is a screen in the config website to set up DHCP. The router also may have a basic firewall included. You need to open ports to get certain services over wan to your private network. BTW you can stop paying for two extra IPs from your ISP and physically connect your other machines to the router. it has physical ports too. Check bountifull's website they have easy to follow quick setup guides.

Please let us know the situation of the whole network map so we can properly know the case. Are the wired and wireless connections enabled at the same time on the Windows 7 64bit computer? Which connection connects to Internet, the wired one or the wireless one? Please enter “ipconfig/all > %userprofile\Desktop\ipconfig.txt” in cmd, then open the file ipconfig.txt from Desktop and paste the contents into your post. When the issue occurs, does the local network work properly?Arthur Xie - MSFT

It sounds to me like an IP Conflict. The router needs to be configured before connecting to the WAN. Simply give it a Static IP and add the DNS and other info needed, enbale the DHCP for Wireless and then plug it into the WAN - Should solve the problem.
