Wifi Connection, User-defined IP where?!

[benkayuk]

Hi all,

I live in a property next door to the company i work for, and the network is linked into the apartment. I have a Wireless Network Access Point in my apartment.

The thing is....DHCP is deactivated on the whole network, and everything runs through proxy servers.

To do this, I need to choose the option that my wireless access point (called scanthor) is used to connect to Work right?

Also, I have gone into settings, connections and modified the proxy to be correct. However, where can I set a valid IP address for the connection??

I'm guessing in Network Adaptors setting right? But which one is the wifi card, there seems to be about 5or 6 in there!

Hope someone can help, thanks in advance!!

Try | Start (menu) | Settings | Connections (tab) | Network Cards (icon) | Network Adapters (tab) | tiacxwln Compatible Wireless Etherne... | Then check Use specific IP address. You'll need to set values for IP Address, Subnet mask, (most likely 255.255.255.0) and Default gateway. Also be sure to tap Named Servers, and fill in the info there, you'll need a DNS address to access the Internet.

Still not working..... I've set my IP address under tiacxwln Compatible Wireless Ethernet Adaptor. Also put in gateways, dns server etc as taken from ipconfig on my desktop work computer.

Then, i have set the wireless network to connect to "Work" and in Network Adaptors, under the box ..my adaptor connects me to...work is selected there also.

Finally, under connections and "My Work Network" I have put the proxy settings in correctly (just Http and socks)

No luck though. Sometimes it works but unbelievably slowly, sometimes nothing...very annoying.

The proxy server is AVM Ken! www.avm.de

Is this the problem?
