Access Poing to Access Point Networking

I don't really know if this is possible, but I need some information if it is. Here's my situation:

I recently purchased two D-Link DWL-1000 Access Points to try to get two different areas in my house networked. Downstairs I have three systems hooked into a switch, along with one access point, as one network. And upstairs I've got four systems hooked to a switch, along with an access point. These are WIRED networks.

But when I bought the access points, I was under the impression that I could use them to wirelessly connect the two networks, but I have no idea how. I CAN get the two access points to recongize each other, but I can't ping or do anything. Has anyone out there tried to do this kind of networking, and if so, can you show me some information on how to do it? Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
