Multiple IP issues

I currently have a wireless Access Point setup with a public IP. It is set to work in WDS mode and is working fine and I have 1 customer that logs into it and I have another customer that can log in via the 1st customer. The both work perfectly fine. The problem is that when I try to set up a third customer that can see both the AP and the other 2 customers, it starts causing errors all over my entire network saying that there are multiple computers on the network with the same IP address. Now all of my customer computers are being handed addresses from my DHCP server here at the office. And as soon as I power down this unit, there errors go away. I have configure this unit the same as all my other units, and I have even tried 2 different routerboards setup the same way to make sure that it is not a hardware error but the problem persists.

I hate this kind of answers, but, man, you realy should read something about networking before you start your wireless network. You are flooding forum with real banal questions.

All you ask is somethng you should know or it is explained in Mikrotik manual (including examples).

I actually have been doing networking for several years. I have also been reading the forums and the manual for days trying to find an answer, so as not having to ask another question. I have found no solution so far. If someone could point me towards a part of the manual that i may be missing would be helpful, but just saying "read the manual", is of no help whatsoever.

Several years of networking experience and you cannot handle simple IP confilct?

Several years of networking experience and you do not know how to setup basic NAT (even if example is provided in MT manual)? That is strange.

I asked for help. You have done nothing but be condescending and rude. Thanks for wasting my time. If ANYONE else would care to help someone that is just asking for help. Please help.

it seems that he is handing out IP addresses by dhcp-server, and he has 2 servers in network, and routed network, but his error is that he gives out addresses from same address pool.

give one dhcp fist part and other second part of pool, or better use dhcp relay so all addresses are handled by one dhcp-server and dhcp requests through 1st client is relayed to where ever it need to.
