IP Conflict on WiFi

Dear Friends,

I am a wireless Inetrnet Service provider in Mysore India. I have presently
2 AP independently connected to the net by OFC with central server running
on DHCP.

At a particular point in the town both the AP's are accessable. If I put up
Bridge (LAN IP 192.xxx...) and power on it with any AP SSID there will be a
conflict on the network on IP address and the other subscribers get "Request
Time Out" and slow Internet access. I have tried changing the hardware but
no joy.

Plez help me.

are both APs using the same IP address - 192.168.1.254?

If both are DH* servers, try setting them to 100 addresses allocated, the
first starting at .50 and the second at .150 (IE so the address range isn't
duplicated when addresses are given out)

No both AP's are not on DHCP but on static transparent IP's 10.10.xxx.
Connecting to a server running a DHCP service but allocating real ip's
(61.7.xxx). The bridge, no matter what IP is allocated for the LAN side
causes a IP conflict.

So, how about telling us a little more about your setup?
- IP addresses and netmasks of all components
- DHCP ranges
- physical network structure
- static routes
- ...

The network has 2 AP's both are independently connected to the Net from the
server via Fibre Optic Cable. The server runs on Linux with DHCP range of
255 real IP's (61.7.65.1 255).

Each AP has a LAN IP of 10.10.10.1 /255.255.255.0. Both AP's has different
SSID.

All bridges and Wifiy PCI cards are working fine except one bridge. This one
is Radio accessable to both the AP's, no matter whatever bridge I put, the
moment I put the bridge the network goes down and there is a clash of IP.
The bridge has a LAN IP of 192.168.1.x / 255.255.255.0 for local
administration.

The server has MAC authentication and AP's are not authenticated since they
are transparent. The Bridge and the NIC are both authenticated. (Should I?).
