> I would like to have a VM Ware setup where i have a windows xp/7 host running vmware. host is using wireless to connect to the main router to gain internet access. the physical nic i have used to plugin a dd-wrt router setup to be just an AP (no dhcp etc)

> when i plugin the dd-wrt ap to the nic on the host machine i do not get an automatic ip address so i set one up (192.168.1.2) (when i do this i loose the internet connectionon host) (surley this should be on dhcp and getting a 10.1.0.x ip address from grase?) if in nic set to dhcp it gets a 169 ip address...
