Re: Static IP adress

This sounds more like a configuration issue with the range extenders. I'm
not familiar with how the different brands work, but my understanding is
that the primary access point communicates with the LAN, and the extenders
just connect back to the primary with wireless. The one range extender I
have in use is transparent to the whole process, just widening the scope of
the original WAP. I have two WLANs (one public and one private) and have
never seen a DHCP problem, so I wouldn't change any configuration on the SBS
for this.

Do they get an IP normally when they're near the primary access point, the
one that connects to the wired LAN?

If you're interested in wireless security, there's a great how-to article at
http://home.comcast.net/~clearviewtc/Index.html. Because this allows for
computer authentication, it works great - login scripts run, group policy
gets applied - works just like the wired network.

Please point me in the right direction if you can - I have installed a few
SBS 2003 Premium Servers and always leave IP addressing as DHCP. I have
recently added Wireless access points to a server with 3 Access points
configured as extenders. Each access point has static IP address but
periodically the 10 computers on the wireless network have trouble
obtaining
an IP address even when network signal is good. I wanted to assign static
IP
addresses to the workstations to eliminat this problem but when I manually
put in IP - Sub N - Def Gat (to server) the computer took ages to load up
when turned on and off - However if i set back to automatically assigned
the
XP computer went straight in on startup.
Can I use static IPs and DHCP together and am I doing something wrong?

Any help greatly appricaited.
