Have done a fairly extensive search through the topics on the forum and havent found anyone with quite the same situation so my humble apologies if this is a repeat subject. (and I also apologise in advance fo rthe lengthy post)I am trying to network a 5532, 5508 and a 5504 and after much research on here I decided to use two WBR2-G54S's. (Two replays in the same location plugged into the same router the third remotely located) I have configured both units on a pc but intend to use them solely to bridge the Replay's together with the intent of streaming video wirelessly from one to the other without using them to connect to the Ethernet. (Dialup only available in my area, and due to the homes layout wired connection is not an option) I'm somewhat confident that the routers/bridges are set up correctly since when testing them (while hooked up to the PC) I can successfully ping one unit from the other and vice versa with the routers in their spots I want to place them in the home. I also set the routers IP into the range discussed for this scenario (192.168.0.x as discussed in another thread and went to static ip's on them also as talked about in other threads) Unfortunately when I plug the Replays into their respective WBR's the replay units can not see each other. Have tried both hard and soft reboots on the Replays and 243-zones and "looked for other units" with no success. For grins I also tried hardwiring the units through one router with no joy. I have used the connections on the units at a friends house to download the latest software into each unit so I also know the connections are good on the back of each of the 3 replay units. Hoping someone can point me in a direction to get these units talking to each other. (Help!)

Ok, I got around to trying that and I end up getting an error message. The router is successfully assigning an IP to the replay (192.168.0.12) but that seems to be where things stop. I can not ping that IP and get any info back from it. Is this a communication issue at the router side or on the replay side?
