Homer, What is the IP address of the ABO, APT and DHCP server? Are these static? Have you gone back and checked these with a packet sniffer?
Again, I state that I have ABT's and ABO's that sometimes associate with the static IP address I assign them, and sometimes with a DHCP leased IP address. I use a Cisco AP. I check the simple monitor, everything is fine... but I check the Cisco association table, and tada, there it is, a DHCP IP'd ABT. I change my subnet on my simple monitor system to match the DHCP IP subnet's, type in the DHCP address, and tada.. talking to the ABT. Check the IP address, and Tada, it shows the static IP that I told the system to use. Tell the system to re-boot.. tada, the system will this time reassociate with the Cisco as the static IP. Happens randomly with the 1.07 firmware (also older firmwares). Just started deploying 1.08 so not sure if it happens there.
