In my case, I was using a Dlink router and I had the MN500
(as a bridge) set up to allow connections/associations
from a list of MAC addresses. I had to put the Dlink
router's MAC address into the MN500's connection accept
list because the Dlink was providing DHCP service to my
wireless machines. The same for connections to my PCs off
the Dlink, if I wanted to be able to talk to them from the
wireless.
