wireless home network

i've just bought some d-link stuff in the hopes of setting up a network or wireless network at home with my laptop. if it can be done wirelessly awesome, if not, i'll settle for a cable right now.

have the d-link 10/100 fast ethernet switch (model: DES-1008D) and the d-link AirPlus Xtreme G+ 2.4GHz wireless access point (model: DWL-2000AP+).

I'm using winXP and get the wireless to be recognized on the laptop but cannot access the internet, any suggestions please???

thanks in advance

Did you enter the IP address, or automatically assigned DHS settings. Because you need to enter a direct IP address when using a wireless connection.

In the wireless access point settings make sure you have set its "gateway" to the ip address of your router/modem. This will then tell the wireless access point where to get the internet from.

DHS? Department of homeland security?

Also, you can use dynamic IPs for wireless, I do it every day at work and at home.
