I haven't followed the entire > discussion, so maybe that's not appropriate, but it has me wondering. an access point can operate in one of two modes - as an access point ( or hub, if you will ) to which end stations access the wired network, or as a point-to-point bridge ( connecting one AP to another ) in the case mentioned here, two access points will not communicate data in the manner required. it's kinda like asking a hub to be a router or visa versa. my own estimation - Outside_Network------hub/switch------AP(acting as bridge)--------AP(acting as bridge--------hub/switch-------services HTH > > > > > yep - need a wireless bridge pair for each connection.
