David, I tend to believe you will find your answer on your network -vs- "big bad leak" somewhere and the only real suggestion I can offer you would be to do what we do here when we start having weird issues - - and that is to be ready to start unplugging Back Hauls (one at a time) out of their switch..Etc when the trouble starts. Have a ping running to watch for the latency to disappear when you unplug the offending Back Haul. Once you narrow it down to the right leg of the network you can reboot one AP at a time until you find which AP it is coming from by running an extended ping on that leg of the network
Don't pull a "big dummy" like we did here for weeks!! Unplug the servers one at a time too!!! That is where we found one of the servers we host was our culprit. There traffic was of such that it was flooding our switches - - (dirty suckers) :-) GL - & keep us informed as to what you find Mac Dearman -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David E.

(For historical reasons, some of our customers are still part of a giant bridged network, and their traffic is shaped in our office not at the AP, but those customers are relatively few and growing fewer by the week.)
