DHCP over WAP to XP
I recently connected a Trendnet TEW-430APB wireless access point to my office LAN. I've tried using it from various notebook computers running Win Xp SP2 and I can usually make it work with some manual configuration of the IP properties on the notebooks. Shouldn't the WAP be basically like a switch/hub and allow the notebooks to get their IP properties from the DHCP server (which is actually my edge router)? I can't find any settings in the WAP configuration to allow this to happen.

Good comments from all. I never got DHCP to work thru the WAP and am returning it as defective. Points split between all.
Thank you :)
cheers :)

I had a long conversation with their tech support before I asked here, but I never got the feeling the tech understood the nature of the problem.
The WAP does not contain a DHCP server. I will re-examine all of the setup options to see if I overlooked a setting.
