Jason,
Thanks for figuring this one out, I had almost exactly the same problem
with a Linksys WRT54G (using a relatively old Sveasoft firmware) and the
Squeezebox, though I have the most basic wireless setup (no WDS).

The Squeezebox would associate with the AP, but detect the Slimserver
as being at the IP address of the AP itself, rather than the server
hosting it. This problem also showed up in Snort logs whereby wireless
traffic appeared to originate from the AP's IP, not the wireless client
IP's.

I had overlooked the loopback setting in the 'Administration : Management'
section when first setting up the AP, and was previously at a loss as to
how I could correct this strange behaviour.

Thanks again,
Tom
