Here is the layout of my network.
Main office has wireless network (SSID: 101)
I have two WET200s, one in the main office, one in the garage next to the building. I have the SSID as: 101Bridge
I have one WAP200 in the Garage with the SSID as: 101APGarage
The main office wireless network works fine, as does the WAP200 when I try it out inside the main office.
When I put the WAP200 in the Garage it connects but I am not getting an IP address.
I can connect to both the WET200s through my web interface, from my main office. So I then know the bridge is working (I can access the WET200 from my main office, as well as the WAP200).
Why am I not getting an IP address when I use a wireless laptop in the garage?

I tried changing the default gateway from my cable modem to the ip address of the garage's wap200, still nothing. Even with different AP I still get the same result so it's something to do with the bridge.

More info. I put a wired switch behind the bridge in the garage. Connected a laptop to it, still it didn't work UNTIL I changed the secondary DNS on the bridges to point to my ISP DNS server.
I then tried it wirelessly and still no luck. I am not getting an IP address from an AP that is behind a wireless bridge. What am I doing wrong?
