Re: Probably stupid wireless question
Wireless Access Points normally don't provide a DHCP feature because
they
operate at a different network level to routers. Some more expensive WAPs
may provide DHCP, but I know my Linksys one doesnt. The router at the
office
you mentioned could probably be configured to provide a DHCP service.
