I'm having problem to connect between 6000ap (installed as ap) and 2100 (set
as ap client). I do all the necessary work, described in dlink faq and I got
next results: If I log on 2100 using telnet, I can ping the computer
hardwired with 2100 and also I can ping 6000ap, and every computer behind
6000ap. But I can not ping from computer behind 2100, anything beside 2100.
The 2100 is acting like I was disabled "Ethernet to WLAN Access"

Does anybody know the solution?

How is this going to work? The DWL-2100AP is a 2.4GHz (802.11g)
wireless box. The DWL-6000AP is a 5.6GHz (802.11a) wireless box.
What manner of magic are you using to get these to communicate?

Assuming a typo error, the problem is obvious. Set as a client radio,
the DWL-2100AP will pass exactly one MAC address through the link.
That's the MAC address of the one PC that was first connected. It
will ignore the other PC's. To get it to pass more than one MAC
address (31 max), you need to set this up as a bridge, not a client
radio. I don't know exactly what you're running, but if there's more
than one radio involved, you might need to set it for point to
multipoint bridge instead of point to point bridge.

If this is impossible to configure, you can still make the DWL-2100AP
work by using a 2nd router between the DWL-2100AP and the rest of the
computahs on the LAN. This may involve double NAT, but will work.

You didn't understand me correctly, but you have helped me a lot!
6000ap is also (802.11a).
Thanks again...

I meant 802.11b. 6000ap is dualband box

Oops. Y'er right. The DWL-6000AP does both 802.11a/b. Sorry.
