Hi,

I have a flock of DWL-7100AP's, so I'll try to help you out.

First: Is this just a simple "home-type" network topology -- and even if so,
are you after subnets here?

I'm going to assume simple, with no subnets, unless you say otherwise...

What you provided: You have two DLink DWL-2700 AP's. One if functioning
correctly as an AP, while the other AP you want to use as a just a simple
client. Ok. That is very reasonable. I've used one of the DWL-7100AP's as
just a client before. These are just indoor 802.11a/g/b AP's, but same
idea. One of them actually is running outside though. :-)

What you didn't provide: How is the (working) DWL-2700AP, running as an AP,
obtaining it's IP? Is there a router somewhere in this mix? If so, thats
is where the "client" DWL-2700AP should be getting it's DHCP from also, not
the "AP" DWL-2700AP. What you are seeing could be DHCP collision.

I'm sure there are probably more variables going on, (there always is), but
thats the first thing I thought of with what you provided...

The DWL-2700AP, while it does have a "DHCP server", isn't a router. Its
more like a wireless HUB switch. I.e., I take one of my DWL-7100AP's with
me when I travel in my laptop bag. Mainly use it just to repeat hotel's
wifi, but occassionaly have set it up to make a quick LAN between co-workers
and I so we could play multiplayer games against each other. It can create
a local network, but can't route two networks together. In other words, the
local LAN can't be routed to internet using just a DWL-7100AP.
