[QUOTE="kper99, post: 925188, member: 122062"] dtravis7 you are indeed tracking with what I'm trying to accomplish. Yes, the iMac is connected, via ethernet, to the DSL Modem. I am also familiar with broadcasting my airport signal, assigning it to share my internet connection via the ethernet so no problems there. I'm getting hung up on the settings in both OS X Network Pane and the dd-wrt setup page. In the Network Pane: [B]Connected to PPPoE Service[/B]. Under Advanced button, TCP/IP Tab: Configure IPv4: Using PPP; IPv4 Address is present; No subnet mask is present; and Router address is present. Under DNS Tab two DNS Addresses are given. [B]Distributing Airport signal[/B]. Under Advanced button, TCP/IP Tab: Configure IPv4: Using DHCP; IPv4 Address is present; Subnet Mask is present; No Router address is present. Under DNS Tab no DNS address is given. [B]Linksys dd-wrt [/B]is set up in client-bridge mode. I am unclear as to which IP address/DNS address/Subnet Mask to input. Additionally, should the Airport signal have it's Configure IPv4 set to something other than "Using DHCP"? Am I wrong in believing that the Airport Extreme card inside of this iMac is not the same as an Airport Extreme Basestation? Or has Apple reduced functionality to push more product? In any event, please excuse my ignorance regarding this matter. Thanks for the help! [/QUOTE]
