If that is the case you will need to create another VLAN on your HP Switch. I suspect this switch does not do routing so this gets messy. So, on that new VLAN give two of your switch ports access to it. Plug in the 3Com AP into one of the ports and the other needs to go to the Server 2003 (hopefully you have a second NIC) Decide on a new subnet… example 10.100.50.0 255.255.255.0 Make your NIC on the server 10.100.50.1 255.255.255.0 (no gateway) Turn on DHCP Server on the Server 2003. Create a Scope for 10.100.50.0 /24 exclude 10.100.50.1. Configure the AP as an AP so it broadcast whatever SSID you create. It’s up to you if you want to add security for the SSID…. I would. Use WPA2 PSK. Now that you have done this… make sure your proxy knows about the new subnet you added. if that is configured properly… then this should work. This is the poor mans way to do this. If you have the money I would get a Cisco 3560 with a L3 IOS running on it. This would solve all of your problems. This whole thing is very un-secure. You can get a 3560 on eBay fairly cheap. Just remember to get one with an L3 image. If you do that… come back to the discussion and I will help you there.
