Hi Guys,

Got a problem at hand, was wondering if anyone could help me out.

In the attached picture, you'll see the current setup for what I have.
Pc4 & 5 are located in 1 room, Pc1, 2 and 3 located in another.
Without the use of wires, I want to connect them all on the same network with internet access.

ADSL router is held in room of PC 4 & 5, and hands out IP addresses.. although, the router/switch/hub in room PC1 to 3 also wants to hands out IP addresses.

What settings do i need to make sure of are selected in room with pc 1,2 & 3 to make sure the IP addressed are received and sent through to the 3 pc's in that room?
security in use is WPA2-PSK...

Fixed it for you....

setup router in with pc1,2,3 to use wireless bridging. disable dhcp server on router in that room as well.
 
I tried WDS once... what a nightmare. I now have a 65m cable in the ceiling!

Without the use of Wires, I would suggest you purchase W/L Cards for the pcs in the other room. It's more expensive, but that's my 2 cents.
