Can't acquire IP address from DHCP server, but can ping server.

Hello All.

I have a Zone Director 1100 connected to 10 AP's (R700).

9 are in 1 building (main site with all the servers and ZD), the other 10th one is in a 2nd building near by (just a couple switches there).

Two separate SSID's here (9 on one, 1 on the other). Two separate subnets. But want to control them all from one ZD.

I was able to get the ZD and the 10th AP, which is on a different subnet, talking and connected.

I can ping my DHCP server from the AP.

I can't however acquire an IP address when connecting to the WiFi network of the 10th AP.

I just get the ol' 169.x.x.x.

There are several different VLANs as well, but I thought I did the tagging/untagging correctly since I was able to get the AP and ZD talking.

I'm not a network engineer...but am fairly handy.

Anyway someone could point me in the right direction?

Thanks.
