Hi. I've got a dlink wireless repeater which works fine with 2 pc laptops. Now i'm trying to use a powerbook with it (OS X) and it finds the network, tries to connect btu then says there was an error.

It works fine if it can see the wireless router (i.e. without using the repeater).

I've set it to DHCP and I've run out of things to try.

SHould this work? (i.e. can wireless repeaters be operating system specific?) or is it a case of configuring something?
 
well I know that with windows, if there are two stations with the same SSID it will try and connect to the one with best reception (automaticaly).

Does osx not do this? or do I need to specify the mac address of the repeatrer? (and how would i do this in osx? i'm new to it).
