This is my first time setting up anything like this so please be gentle. I'm a web developer who fell into setting up a few SonicWall NSA 4200's...

I've tried doing as much research on this through Google and ServerFault but haven't been able to hunt down an answer as to what I'm doing wrong.

We've got two virtual access points set up here, one that is intended for employees (tied to X2) and the other for guests (tied to X2:V1). We are not using the DHCP server on the NSA 4200, but one already on the network.

When a client connects to the employee SSID they are able to obtain a IP from the network's DHCP server.

However when attempting to connect to the guest SSID the client does a search for a DHCP server but can't find one.

Any clues, resources, answers would be appreciated.
