Most WAPs allow up to 32 users per WAP and your post could result if the WAP is full.
Best of luck.

Hi. I'm studying in a college, where we have wireless network connection (802.11b) for us to surf the net etc. The Access Points are the open-air type, they are located outside buildings, mounted high up.
Frequently, it happens that we can see the wireless signal (quite strong, 4 out of 5 bars in Windows XP), but we cannot connect to it. In the WZC, we'll always see Connection Failed, and a balloon popping up at the system tray saying that cannot connect to the wireless network. It is the same if we use Intel PROSet/Wireless Software on notebooks and DLink Sitesurvey on Desktop systems.
I found out that just by switching off d wireless access point, and switching it on back, things become functional again.
Of course, off-ing and on-ing the access point does solve the problem, but I was wondering, could there be a permanent cure for it? What is wrong with it? I hope you could provide suggestions so I could inform the Network Administrator to fix it. (I off and on the AP now because the Network Administrator takes ages to fix things... I told them many times before of this problem, and just getting them to make the system back and running takes up to..... weeks?)
I do not have information about the brand of the Access Point because it is mounted high up. However, this wireless access point is part of an extended wireless network setup, with its neighbouring access points being set to channels 6 and 11 (this access point is itself set to channel 1).
Thanks!
