I see that more explanation is necessary. I do know that in theory the access point and my LAN are on two different networks. My Linux box is both router and DHCP controller. In theory the Access Point is supposed to be 192.168.0.50. My LAN is configured to 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0. Despite this, the laptop that is on the LAN is getting it's IP address from the Linux box, and is getting out to the net. Somehow, this doesn't make sense to me, but that's how it is. I did consider the possibility that the Access Point got reprogrammed at some point, and is on the same network as my Lan, but if it is, I can't see it - I have tried several obvious addresses as Scot suggests in the next reply to my post, but it doesn't respond. Is there some scan I can run to try to spot it? I have also tried changing my Lan configuration to the 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 range, but, I still wasn't able to see the access point - however, I did something wrong when I made the change and lost DHCP services to the laptop, so I left something out when trying this, and maybe that's my problem. I changed the configuration of eth1 in the Network admin tool, and changed my settings in the dhcpd.conf, when I tried that. Are there other settings somewhere else I missed?
While reconfigured, I did try to reset the access point with the pin in the reset hole method, but that didn't change my results. Now, after the supposed reset which puts the Access Point to 192.168.0.50, I've put my lan back to the original settings of 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0, and DHCP to the laptop is working (it's got 192.168.2.254 assigned to it), and I'm getting out to the net - this is baffling my imperfect understanding of how this is supposed to work.

Claude,
With your eth0 interface aliased or set to 192.168.0.10, try pinging the entire subnet ala: ping -b 192.168.0.255 and see what is returned.
Also, is it possible that the AP is also getting an address from DHCP? Check your logs.
