I have a 5102G ADSL router with 4 PC's connected via a wired connection and would like to connect 2 laptops wirelessly to the router with the ability to access the internet and the other PC's.

If I use the 'obtain IP address automatically' option the laptops connect to the network but with limited connectivity.If I specify a an IP, subnet and gateway they connect with full connectivity...
but either way I can't connect to the Internet or see the other PCs in the workgroup.

The ADSL connection is configured in bridge mode so that each device connects with it's own ISP account. It seems like there is some 'barrier' on the router preventing the wireless devices from accessing the wired PCs and internet. When trying to connect to the internet I get the error that the remote computer did not respond.

Any advice on resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
 
The best is to update the firmware of the router. I had a wireless access point that didn't allow the wireless pcs to see the wired ones. :D else you can reset the router to the default settings if no firmware update is available
