Thanks Doug and Charles. I'm as green as they come with this 802.11b
I can see the advantage of using public IP on the AP for remote admin.
I can either put the AP and CPE's on the WAN side or DMZ side of my
firewall "appliance". Putting them on the DMZ would offer a little more
"protection" against DOS and other attacks.
Can I do remote access to the CPE also? Of course they will be under 200
yards away so I could just hoof it ;)
Thanks
Chris

Chris,
The AP can use either a public or private IP address at the Base Station.
The main Con is you can't manage the AP if it is a private IP across the
internet if you need too. The CPE devices need to have a Public IP address
so they can get onto the internet.
You are correct about the NAT feature. Public on the radio and private on
the ethernet side is how it is setup.
