Need help setting up AP!

Here's my setup..

Mikrotik RouterOS running on a PC with two ethernet ports:
ether1 - 192.168.10.3 (to ISP)
ether2 - 172.31.100.100 (to LAN that is plugged into switch)
DHCP enabled giving IP addresses to clients (172.31.0.1 ~ 172.31.0.99)

Internet works fine on LAN with computers plugged into switch.

Have now purchased an RB112 with R52 miniPCI wireless card - need to know how to setup the MT as an Access Point (wanting IP address 172.31.100.101) - don't need WDS enabled either.

Please help ASAP!

I guess you want to connect RB112 to Ether2 port.
To use 172.31.100.101 address, you can create bridge on RB112, add to bridge Ether1(connection to RouterOS on PC) and WLAN1 (client interface).

Use 172.31.100.0/24 subnet on the client workstations.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, have a fair idea - if you could elaboarte that would be helpful! I'll try illustrate:

[RouterOS PC - connection to ISP]
ether1 - 192.168.10.3 - ISP assigned IP
ether2 - 172.31.100.100 - masquerading using this IP
DHCP assigning IP address 172.31.0.1 ~ 172.31.0.99
-------------------------------------------
[RouterBOARD 112 - Access Point]
ether1 - 172.31.100.101
wlan1 - (no IP address)

Both of these are connected to a switch - how do I make clients that connect to wlan1 get Internet access through the gateway of 172.31.100.100?

It's a very simple setup I know, don't need anything advanced right now

Use my previous post, you need to create bridge between Ether1 and WLAN1 interface. Assign correct IP addresses for clients connected to RB112, 172.31.100.102-... and gateway should be 172.31.100.100

RouterBOARD112 172.31.100.101 address has only management purposes, in order you can access RB112.

Ok, so basically bridge the interfaces on the RB112 - seems simple enough! Is it possible to have DHCP passthrough onto the client? So the RouterOS PC is giving out the IP addresses?

Oh and also in the RB112 route table do I need to enter gateway as 172.31.100.100?

No, it is not necessary.
