    Hello .... all

      I have some problems as i said with my wireless netowrk. So , i use
    LinkSys eq.'s WAP 11 .
    Consider the structure:
       --------- -------- ----
      | SERVER1 | <-- dsl --> |SERVER2 |<----->| WAP|<----> WAP
      | (linux) | |(linux) | ---- clients
       --------- --------
      All the routes are ok ! The eq. communicate between them .... not so good
    ...
    (meaning at WAP - clients),i also use at wap->omnidirective antenas
    2,4GHZ/12dBi
    with California Amplifier 24dBi at clients ... at 1 km distantce between
    them they
    come with a band of 25-30 kB/s.(That's one of the problems)
      The main problem is with "ping" ... i can ping all clinets from server2
    ... but none
     from server1, i can't explain this behaviour ... once again the route's
    are fine.
      All wap's have private ip's with public ip's at clients servers. This
    shouldn't count
    very much since the route's are there, on one hand .... on the other ...
    why the transmition
    rate is so small ... haw can i optimze the bandwith -- say arounf 100-120
    kB/s ?!
