[MLB-WIRELESS] DWL900AP+, network DHCP query

[Michael Carey]

Hiya,
Laptop OS is W2K.
IP of the access point is in the same range as my home network, outside of
the existing DHCP server allocation range.  The IP of the snapgear router is
set in the gateway field of the AP's IP config screen.  I am scratching my
head with this problem.  Another thing I'm gonna try is to reset the
SnapGear and see what happens, don't ask me why this should fix it, but I
still don't know why it's not doing the right thing now... Grrr ;-)
Michael.
