I am running this exact configuration, and it works fine. I have heard of this problem on other access points (Specifically the linksys AP 2.5), and there is somehow a relationship with encryption and encryption size. It should work if you turn off encryption, but I don't know what the root cause is. As I said, I'm running with 128 bit encryption and bridging, and everything works fine. --- Terry Hardie [EMAIL PROTECTED] SHOUTip Engineering Product Manager ICQ#: 977679 net.com, 6530 Paseo Padre Parkway Mailstop #2207, Fremont, CA 94555, USA V: +1-510-574-2366 _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.math.leidenuniv.nl/mailman/listinfo/bridge
