i have to wonder what you mean by "one wireless"... do you mean wireless
NETWORK, wireless DEVICE, wireless etc?

if you happen to mean wireless DEVICES (like notebooks) thats a pretty sure
sign you have the dhcp server turned off, if you happen to mean wireless
NETWORKS, there are very few clients that connect to/share multiple wireless
networks at the same time


rule of thumb, reset it to factory defaults, turn off any firewalls on your
computer, and see if it works BEFORE you changed it

Hmm, some more clarification needed, I think. By 'network', do you mean
you want more than one SSID on your AP [virtual access points], or do
you mean that you want to use it as a client-bridge to more than one
other wireless network? The latter is an unusual requirement [to say the
least] but if it's possible with the Buffalo hardware you have then
DD-WRT should let you do it. The former is easy enough, certainly with
DD-WRT.

are you by any chance using profiles or duplicated mac id's or forcing a
certain port #? sure sounds like they are getting port assignments ok from
other wireless networks, but on yours it's only getting the same one (or
it's overriding the one handed out and using one that conflicts with one
already assigned)

you may want to try each one (connect and do the equivalent of
start/run/command ipconfig /all <--- xp commands, change for whatever opsys
you are using) that will tell you absolutely for sure what ip/port address
each laptop is using.... they should all be different, if not, will help
narrow down the problem

No, not you, hence the "Peter Pan ... wrote:" bit.

Such are the perils of mass-market products. There are always going to
be as many opinions as there are people who own said product.

I suspect the reason you don't find people asking about this is because
it's very unusual to find an AP that only accepts one station at a time,
even after factorying it.

I suppose when I said the WHR-HP-G54 'works great' for me I should have
mentioned that includes having more than one station associated, for the
avoidance of doubt.
