D-Link DWL-2100AP Wirless Access Point.

All of these are plugged into a little Ethernet hub and the workstation happily has internet access.

Addtionally I have a laptop with wireless card. I have a full connection to the Wirelesss Access Point i.e can ping it and view the admin console via a browser. However I cannot get internet access.

The Access Point has an IP address of 192.168.0.50 and I have statically assigned the laptop an ip address of 192.168.0.51. I notice that the cable modem seems to have an IP address of 192.168.100.1. I did tinker with changing the IP address of the other two to be along the lines of 192.168.100.xyz but no joy.

I am missing something stupid here I guess - can anyone put me out of my misery ?

Thx
This setup will not work as you have more that one device's mac address presented to the cable modem. To be able to have more that 1 pc connected at the same time you will require a broadband router. There is more info on this link.

Hope this helps
