Our lan ip is 10.99.77.1 - 255
so i set the Wlan ip to 10.99.77.16 (open ip address)
subnet mask 255.255.255.0

When clicking ok I get this error:
"Subnet on this interface overlaps with another interface"
I have tried other ip addresses and subnets but get one error or another.
Using the information I have supplied here, what is the best way to setup the x3 interface for the sonicpoint?

Are you trying to set up your wireless clients in the same lan/subnet?
It's generally recommended to create a new subnet for your wireless clients, which is why it's telling you there's an overlap.
If you're using 10.99.77.x for you LAN, how about using 10..99.78.x for your wireless? They can still communicate back and forth between subnets.
