Can you make Airport not give its own IPs?

[Chulo]

I've connected the Airport to a D-Link router. When I connect to the D-Link router I can access the other computers on the network. When I connect to the Airport I can't. Is there a way to use the Airport to access the computers on the network?

I notice that when I log on to the Airport, it gives me a different IP on system preferences>Network>TCP/IP. Is there a way to make have the airport not give its own IPs and stick to the ones D-Link gives?

Thanks!

I've got the same setup (sort of, I have a d-link and two Apple routers) Set the AP up a "bridged" and disable DHCP. Let the d-link continue to run DHCP. This way you will have just one big network with some wired and some wireless.

In Airport Admin - uncheck "Distribute IP addresses."

Is there a wa to reset the Aiport? Airport Admin is asking for a password to access it and I don't know what it is.

OK, found the password lol. Unchecked the Distribute IPs but its "self assigning " and IP to the laptop now.
