tament @verizon.net	Got it working late last night. NO problem if I use a fixed IP on the my LAPTOP. ONce I Stand up a repeater and connect to it, if using DHCP i issued a 'REPAIR' to the network configutation and it went out and got me a new IP and it worked great. JUst a simple thing that I should have thought about before. OH well, that what learning is all about. THanks for your reply

However, using a Windows DHCP server the wireless clients of the Bridged Repeater will obtain a lease. Using static IP addys shows no problem. Have not tried the newer RCs but worth a shot. The hardware is 50 miles away so it will be while until I get a chance to try them.
