I think your right about the routing not working but that is my puzelment too. I switched my eth1 (running airport) to dhcp (a server on the lan) and I aquire an IP and the proper routing table and I then can connect to the internet. OK, Now after typing out a detailed report of my new work, both static and dhcp are now working. For some reason once I got the dhcp to work and then switch to the static, it all works and all is well for wi-fi and I can ping the internet and my lan. Thanks to all who have helped me with this project and the understand of wireless. -Adam
