I would like to have the following configuration in my home, but I
can't get it to work.
Linksys WAP11 Access point
static IP
connected to Switch
switch also connected to PC1 and DSL router
WAP11 Access point client
static IP
connected to hub
print server is connected to hub
PC1 can print just fine using AP <---> AP client
Linksys WPC54G in laptop
mixed mode set (b/g)
SSID set to AP
WEP correct
Network Index correct
WPC54G sees home network and says signal is excellent. Otherwise, I
cannot get the laptop to talk to the access point. I can't ping
anything on the network, I can't ping the AP. XP SP2 just scans for a
few seconds then gives up. No ACT light on the AP when it is doing
this.
I have tried without success to talk to Linksys support about this.
What else can I do? Can somebody point me to specific instructions
somewhere on the web that would tell how to configure this? This seems
like a no brainer configuration.
An AP is supposed to be able to act as an AP to both an AP client and a
regular client, correct?

Check your firewall settings (part of XP SP2), or just turn it off
altogether and try it. <--- easiest way to try it
Can't say for sure, but sounds like a firewall problem.
