using a wireless router with an existing network

Zones: Miscellaneous Networking, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Telecommunications

Tags: wgt642, router, netgear, existing, network

Hi,

I have a netgear wireless firewall router (WGT642) and I plugged it into a switch on the internal network in our office. When I connect to the wireless network, I can access the internet, but I can't access the workstations plugged into the switch that the access point is... How do I enable this? Do I need to turn off routing on the wireless device? Can I force the router to act like an access point instead?

thanks - Trevor
