I don't know if this will help, but in a BSA the remote client talk to the
AP only via RF and not to each other. Since this is 802.11 and not 802.3,
ARP will work differnetly I think. If you have connection to the wire LAN it
looks like it working. this is just a BIG WAG on my part. I'm looking into
wireless my self.

Hi
Excuse for asking out of ccie syllabus doubt....

Have anyone come across the ARP problem with wireless client with AP1100.
The two wireless client (ibm laptop with built in wireless NIC) cant ping
each other . In one of the latop (w2k prof)
 arp -a displays the MAC address of the other wireless clients as
invalid. If i add mac address manually in the laptops its working fine.

What could be the problem. why the wireless client cant find the MAC
address of another wireless client . Is anything missing... But wireless
client dont have any issue reaching to desktops computers with wire.
