If use static IP on client PC and can't ping to DHCP server, then it seemed that it is not passing traffic even though it is associated. Pls compare the airBridge setting with the Outdoor. Check Authentication type , preamble, etc. The Primary DHCP Port can only set to either wireless or Ethernet not both; I wondered why you mentioned setting to both???

I can get it to work with an airbridge outdoor, but not with an indoor. When I use a static IP on the client, I can't reach the dhcp server from the client, even though I am associated with the access point (which is a repeater. This repeater is associated (good signal strength, solid association) through the access point - other clients get their dhcp address through the same ap/repeater combo. I only have one airbridge indoor right now (more on the way) so I can't test with another airbridge indoor right now. I have set the dhcp port to both ethernet and wireless, and the configuration port is set to both ethernet and wireless (till I get it to work) When I bring the unit home, I can associate it with my linksys wap11, and it hands out a client address just fine. This seems very wierd to me. I am using simpleMonitor 1.5, and firmware 1.04 I'll work on the trace from dhcp server side. Thanks for your help. OT, but My favourite quote is "The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds the most discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' ('I found it!') but 'That's funny...' - Isaac Asimov " I can't wait to figure this issue out.
