My bad...I wrote 192.168.8.x when I should have written 192.168.0.x I have one BBGW, which does use .8., but I've stopped using it altogether since I got some BBBWs, and it's about those that I was writing.
Two questions: 1) Does your suggestion apply to the BBBW? If so, I'll do it! 2) What is tethering, anyway? I've tethered my laptop to my cellphone on occasion, but I don't understand what it has to do with the WiFi setup. Where can I look for a clear explanation? Thanks for your very fast reply.
