eni, have you tried keeping all the POC';s connected to the switch powered off for a period of time? When we see this, its always first thing in the morning when the customer first start work. Our belief is they are powering off their PC's, thus absolutely NO traffic on the LAN side, just the switch and Airbridge powered on.... The switch in question is a siemens speedstream, which we have seen problems with in the past (really had bad DHCP issues until their firmware release (would not accept our DHCP servers acknowledgement...) BUT, with the list noise, we have not ruled this to be the cause (at least not inside the company, to the customer that is absolutley the issue we are blaming.). Once the customer reboots either the switch or the Airbridge.. walla.. everything just fine...
