The problem is that most likely you are using a subnet for your wireless net that is not routable. For example, if your using 192.168.1.0/24 for your wireless IP's, you cannot use those addresses on the Internet, you'll need a NATing device like a linksys router or some other low end NAT capable broadband router. This device will sit between your cable modem and your AP. The outside IP of the router will get its address from the cable provider and then you can use private addressing on your AP and the NAT gateway will take care of translating your internal addresses to the routers legal IP.
You can pick up a linksys router at CompUSA for a little over a $100 that will work fine. You can get one with a built-in hub if you don't already have a hub/switch laying around, but it will cost a little more.

I have a cable modem (dynamic ip address) connected to a Aironet 350 AP (AIR-AP352E2C). I am able to get the aironet dynamic ip assigned to the ethernet interface (from the cable company dhcp servers). I was able to assign a static ip to the AP radio interface and connect via my wireless nic (static ip). But, I cannot access the internet via the cable modem. My guess is that it is more of a switch then a router. I was hopeful it had a little bit of routing capabilities. I assume that because the ethernet int and AP radio int are on different subnets that is the reason I can't talk. But, again I am not sure and hope someone can help me out!!! I would like any advice to get this working without any other equipment. I was hoping to do this without using one of my routers! Also, is there any way to configure it as a DHCP server? And any config advice would be helpful!!! Thanks for any advice you may give me !!!!!
