Hello, its time for a game of flame the noob. I know this has been asked, and I know you all say read the readme, but read my whole post before you say that, as I have read it 8 times. On the wireless network at work, I CAN authenticate to the network (including the APs). The network admin before me made a map, but I have found that it is not an accurate one (I think he may have moved some APs and never updated the map). I have one AP that appears to work fine (I can use it, I can see lights on it etc.) but the ip on the map for that ap is not active (I can't ping it, I can't access the ap config, etc.) All APs use static ip addresses, no dhcp info. I have reconfigure card automatically turned off, I can authenticate to the network, and I still do not find ip addresses. Does NS rely on the DHCP server for this info? Is that why I can't see ips? Does anyone have a solution short of resetting the ap to factory defaults?

The question has been asked. Let the flaming commence.
