wireless router, 2 APs and LAN problems

Hi,

I'm a newbie in WLANs and looking for some help. I've connected 3
houses in this way:

1. House A has an internet connection and a wireless router JAHT
WA-4054EX. Friends from House A connect to the Internet using built-in
switch so they don't use wireless technology. Internet is plugged into
WAN connector on the switch.

2.House B has an access point (Jaht JWP-5001BP) which is connected to
a normal switch (JAHT JS-2005EP) inside the house. Computers in House
B are all connected to this switch. AP works in "client mode" and is
connected directly to the wireless router in House A (router's MAC
address is set in AP client mode configuration)

3.House C has one computer and one AP (JAHT JWP-5001BP) that also
works in PA client mode and connects directly to the router.

The internet works fine and also I (House B) can ping/see computers
that are in House A. The problem is that I cannot see the computer in
house C and the computer in House C CANNOT see any computer in House
B.

It looks like the router in House A doesn't work as a switch in our
internal LAN? Why is it so? How should the APs and router be
configured? I'd like to share some resources within all of us and for
now it's not possibe.


If my description is not very clear I can do better

Basically, you are trying to bridge 3 networks together. My guess is
you need to run in bridge mode
with A being the root bridge and B and C being non-root.
