OK Heres the rundown...

I have a Cisco 2800 series router that goes into one of the physical 3com 3300 switches. I have 2 stacks of 3300's switches, with 3 physical switches in each stack.

What i'm trying to do is have 2 AP's around the building that only allow internet access, so what i thought would be the best thing to do is set up a 2 port vlan on one of the 3300 switches that only allows internet access... However when i tested it with one of the AP's, i cannot acquire a network address when connecting to the wireless AP normally (as if i were a user wanting internet), and then when i connect my laptop to a port on the same VLAN as the AP, i still cannot manage it through the web browser, because it does not give any valid IP addresses...

So my question is, do i have to set up routing to the Wireless Guest VLAN that i want to have these AP's on, with proper IP address schemes and such? Or does anyone have an easier solution for this kind of setup? Any info would be greatly appreaciated...

If you need any more information from me, please let me know.
 
It seems that you don't have any dhcp server configured in that new vlan, isn't it? If so, try looking for information about UDP Helpers that allow you "share" DHCP server between VLAN's.
