Not really a SBS topic but I'm sure somebody has done this.

I want to add a D-Link Wireless access point to my network.
I currently run SBS2K with a single NIC so don't use ISA at all.
I have a Firebox Firewall which has a trusted zone for my LAN and a DMZ
which has a FTP server in it.
I plan to add te wireless access point to the DMZ side of the firewall to
give laptop clients internet access but no access to the LAN.
The DMZ side of my firewall has DHCP set up.
I added the Wireless access point (a D-Link DWL-2000AP+) to the DMZ side and
assigned it an IP manually.
The D-Link offers the option to assign IP's but I have this off as I assume
it would clash with the DHCP of the firewall.
I seem to get access ok with PC laptops but with Mac laptops the conection
works but no internet access.
Anybody any thoughts?
