using wmwifirouter with os x

[bitt3n]

I'm trying to use wmwifirouter with os x, and wmwifirouter itself seems to work (says 'connected'), but I am having problems connecting to it from the mac. I see the wmwifirouter listed under "Devices" in the networking menu (rather than as a network). When I connect to the wmwifirouter as a device, I have no connection.

A message in network preferences indicates that "Airport is using a self-assigned IP address and may not have access to the internet" when I connect to wmwifirouter, whereas when I connect to my regular router, this message says "Airport is connected to routername and has the IP address 192.168.2.3."

I am using the most recent version of wmwifirouter since yesterday, with all settings at default. Is there some way to get wmwifi to work as a regular network?
