Arasu.       This is confusing. You are telling me that both airPoint Pro's have to be in Wireless Bridge mode?     You told me before that the way to do what I am trying to do is, and I quote:       "One way of implementing the solution would be to have one airPoint PRO         as the access point (AP mode) at the NOC and the other airPoint PRO as a         bridge (Client Bridge mode). The airPoint PROs are totally transparent,         unlike the airBridge, and they support multiple MACs."       So which is it? Should I use wireless bridge mode or Access Point to Client Bridge Mode?       I'm not sure I understand the difference. Last night I got that to work (Access Point to Client Bridge) and I was able to see several MAC#'s, unless they were all proxying through one device.       I need the solution that best bridges one LAN to another LAN without the low MAC# limitation.       Please advise.     Thanks! === Rick Kosick StarLinX Internet Service     ----- Original Message ----- From: sB Tech Support To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 4:13 AM Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Just not working. An airPoint configured in Wireless Bridge Mode can only associate with another airPoint also configured in Wireless Bridge mode.   In the simpleMonitor's Wireless Bridge Tab, you have to include the MAC address of the airPoint (running in Wireless Bridge mode) it will be associating to and in the Basic Settings Tab, please use the same channel for both the airPoints.   Please double check the MAC address in Wireless Bridge Tab and also the Channels in the Basic Settings Tab on both the units after setting the values, to ensure that they are configured correctly.   Best regards,   Arasu sB Tech Support   Visit us on the Web : http://www.smartbridges.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Kosick Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 2:15 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [smartBridges] Just not working. Okay, apparently I am trying to do the impossible.   I have two airPoints. The only way I can get them to talk is with one being in Access Point mode and the other in Client Bridge mode.   If I try to go into Wireless Bridge mode on one side, no go. If I go Wireless Bridge on both sides, no go. I have no auth... and I have tried entering the MAC# on both sides just in case they are required. No go.   No matter what I try, only Access Point to Client Bridge is working.   I need to bridge one lan to another (only sending data across the link that is known to be on that side of the link... which I think my switch will handle for me). I don't want any MAC# limitations. I think there is a limitation of 64 which is fine but I can't  get any to work at all. I can't even ping the radio's IP# aside from the Access Point to Client Bridge setup.   HELP PLEASE! === Rick Kosick StarLinX Internet Service
