Addional info/problem: I set the primary AP in "WDS with AP" mode and added
the MAC's of the other 5 AP's to its MAC table. All set on the same
channel, but all have different SSID's (each identifies the building they
cover). When I try to connect to these AP's, I get dropped and my VISTA
client has event ID 6100, association status: 0x00038002 and reason code:
0x00000002. Quite cryptic; I searched MS - no luck. Googled it, no real
luck and only margianal help at eventid.net. The plain-language resaon I
see is "Windows did not receive any response from the wireless router or
access point."
Odd ... I can see them fine as an available network, signal strength is
Excellent, so it must be my setup. REally don't know where I went wrong.
