I've been search around and seen some help on this, but it's never exactly what I'm looking for, always close but just not the same, and I've tried to blend the instructions together but I can't get it to work, so Iw as hoping someone would be able to help.
I have a New (used and beat up) G4 cube, and a used airport express, I want to use it as a bridge so I can get wireless internet on my cube, this is what I'm looking for:
Moden -wired-> Linksys 610N (router) -wireless-> airport express -wired-> cube
I've been testing with my macbook trying to get it working there before hooking it up to the cube (since that should be trivial once I know how to get it working). Problem is that I can't get internet access. I can get as far as having the network settings tell me that I won't be able to connect to the internet because the ethernet has a self assigned IP, tried giving it an IP and of course that didn't work (I didn't think it would but figured it's worth a shot in the dark)
Has anybody ever done something similar, hooking an airport express up as a bridge with a non apple router? That seems to be the tricky part as getting it working with an apple router sounds like it would be a piece of cake.
