Mutiple wireless access point Internet Problem

[kirkrr]

In my home network, I have 2 wireless acesss points, connected over wired LAN, both set for the same SSID, and different channels (1 & 6).

One AP is on a cable modem to the Internet. When connected with that AP, everything is fine - I can get to everything. When I am connected to the remote access point, I can get to everything on the LAN, but NOT the Internet. I can even administer both access points, but not even ping the outside world.

If I connect to the backbone, of course, everything works fine.

The Win2k laptop, set up using a domain configuration (and working in cache mode here) is what is giving me the problems. The other Windows, Linux, and MacOSx machines are all in range of the primary AP, so they pose no problem. There is no PDC in my home setup.

Any suggestions?

kirkrr,

The problem might be the fact that you are using the Access Point model and not the wireless routers. The routers offer you the feature of NAT to allow more than one IP address to access the internet at the same time. If the first AP is able to access the internet, try turning that AP off and then reconnecting to the internet with the second AP.
