1. Everyone is not using DHCP. 2. The aPPOs don't "do" DHCP, but pass DHCP information seamlessly. 3. Again - it depends on your particular situation. 4. Based on the lack of interest in this thread, I'd bet that everyone is getting rather worn out on answering the same old questions and are tired of rehashing subjects to those who don't research the manuals and archives and expect them to design thier systems for them for free. Until you get a little further down the planning and research road, I would recommend you lay off the 20 questions for now. It's kind of like the boy who cried wolf story - eventually when you REALLY need help, people may not be there to help... Just a friendly suggestion :)   Best of luck - keep plugging away!   Jason -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dennis Burgess Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 5:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Questions on SmartBridge Products Just another question.  I know everyone is using DHCP.  Assumming multiple towers, does the APPO do anything for me on the DHCP side?  Or should I be running DHCP on my ISA server and everyone grabs an address from there?    Any suggestions on how to do this?   Dennis   ----- Original Message ----- From: Jason To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 4:21 PM Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Questions on SmartBridge Products Yes, provided there is a line of sight to the access point APPO.   You should understand setting up the APPOs in a point to point scenario as access point/client is pretty much the same as setting up a PtP link in wireless bridge mode. Generally, the only significant difference is that you lose some bandwidth to overhead when using an AP/client setup. I am moving towards abandoning the wireless bridge mode in favor of AP/client setups for PtP links because it affords me the flexibility to add clients in between (provided an appropriate antenna is used).   Every situation is different, and there is no substitute for advanced planning. The WISP business (and any fixed wireless application in general) is not a cookie cutter venture, even under the most ideal conditions...   Jason -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dennis Burgess Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 5:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Questions on SmartBridge Products Yes, but does that mean that anyone that is between the APPOs would be covered, i.e. customers, clients?   Dennis   ----- Original Message ----- From: Jason To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 3:18 PM Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Questions on SmartBridge Products If you have one aPPO set up as an access point, then other aPPO's in client bridge mode can connect to it. Is this what you are talking about?   By the way, the archives are at: http://198.63.203.6 Jason
