Guys,
 I am in the process of configuring my Netgear RangeMax Wireles-N Gigabit
Router Access Point with an ISA Server 2006. Before I go ahead and let you
know my configuration problems, I just want to point out that I have already
read Tom Shinder's articles:

http://isaserver.org/tutorials/2004wirelessdmzpart1.html

Now my problem:
 I have assigned 3 NICs to the ISA server. The NIC assigned to the External
network has no IP address since this NIC is connected to my Verizon box
which gets IP dynamically from Verizon. The 2nd NIC assigned to the Internal
network has an IP 192.168.5.1, 255.255.255.0 and with no default gateway. My
ISA server has been configured as a DNS and a DHCP server. This
configuration has been working out fine since I configured this network more
than a year and a half ago. Two Laptops with wireless built-in cards have
been added to my network so I decided to purchase a wireless access point
and add it to the ISA server.

Now the 3rd NIC which is connected to the Netgear Access Point has an IP
address of 192.168.1.5. The Access Point IP address is 192.168.1.1. I have
configured the access point not to issue an IP to the client as a DHCP
server.

The Default Internal network and the Default External network have been
connected to the Wireless network which I have named WLAN-DMZ. I have also
created "One Network Rule that defines a NAT route relationship between the
DMZ and the Default External Network and  one Network Rule that defines a
NAT route relationship between the Default Internal Network and the DMZ "
as Tom mentioned in his article part 2 above.

DNS to DMZ interface - configured.
HTTP DMZ to Internet - configured

How will the Laptops get and an IP address from the ISA server? My wireless
connection seem not to be communicating at all with my ISA server. When I
try to configure the access point with the software that came with it, it
always tries to make the access point a DHCP server even though I have
manually configured it not to assign IP addresses to wireless clients.

Any thing am missing out here?

Thanks for all of your help.

TD
