Re: 2 Laptops, only 1 can be on WAP at a time

Here is the setup, I can provide exact model #s if you want, but they
probably arent relevant.

Cable Modem 1 -> Cisco Router -> Cisco Switch -> See Below

Cable Modem 2 -> Linux Box -> Cisco Switch -> See Below


Cisco Switch -> Local Area Network -> WAPs -> Laptops

There is a common NAT behind both the Cisco Router, and the Linux Box

All PCs are located in the Local Area Network Section, the
determination of which cable modem the a PC uses to reach the internet
is determined by its Gate .128 for Cable Modem 1 or .1 for Cable Modem
2. There is a Linux Box running a DNS server, and a DHCP server
located within the Local Area Network.

WAP1 is a Linksys WRT54G that is connected to the Cisco Switch and is
being serviced by the Linux DHCP server for IPs on that Wireless
portion of the network.

WAP2 is a DLINK Wireless Router (DI504 I think). The router is
servicing it's own DHCP on a NATted IP section. The IPs for the DLINK
connected devices are separate from the other devices. The WAN
section of the DLINK device is an IP routable on the Local Area
Network.

We have 3 Dell 700Ms with the Intel A/B/G card (2915ABG). When one
device connects to either of the 2 WAP devices everything works fine.
When a second Device connects to that same WAP device, the initial
connection is terminated. The initial connection can then be manually
reconnected, which will then disconnect the other device. This can go
on forever. At no point is anything beyond the laptop connection to
the Wireless network effected. All other portions of the Local Area
Network continue to function just fine and show no effects of the
strange battle occurring on the WAPs.
