I'm working on a small business network that was originally setup by someone else who is no longer available and I'm not sure how things were supposed to be configured.
To start with, the network covers two buildings and basically looks like this:

Building 1: [DSL Modem]---> [Netgear Wireless Router 192.168.1.1 (provides DHCP for entire network)]---> [Ethernet Switch]---> [Linksys WET54GS5 Bridge 192.168.1.225]---> [Outdoor Yagi antenna 1]

Building 2: [Outdoor Yagi Antenna 2]---> [Linksys WET54GS5 Wireless Bridge 192.168.1.226]---> [Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router (AP mode. DHCP disabled)]

Everything is working perfectly except that I do not know how to configure the two bridge devices in order to link the two buildings. Each bridge device has it's own IP address on the same subnet as the rest of the network, as noted above, but should those IP's be assigned manually or by DHCP? Should a default gateway also be assigned to the bridges?

I'm not familiar with this kind of setup and everything was a mess when I was brought into it. Thanks.

Thanks. I'll see what that has to offer.
From what I've read elsewhere, these Linksys bridges are supposed to have a setup disc that automates much of the configuration, but Linksys doesn't offer it for download. Any idea where I might find a download for that?

Routers

Start looking at the support page there find out what model numbers are for both bridges and see if you can locate the driver and (HARDWARE) setup program.
If you don't find it on the site your best bet is to call them in the morning when they open or monday and inquire where you can get the setup cd.
They may charge you a small fee to mail it out, but it's better than not having nothing...
