Thanks for the replies and suggestions.  I was just about to ditch the
Airport for a little while and try a simple hardwire Linksys switch to
hook up just a transporter and one squeezebox.  Muski's suggestions had
me feeling brave so I just gave it a shot and now I'm pretty disgusted.
I'll start from the beginning:
-I had already changed the channel setting to channel one because
that is what worked best with the previous Airports.
-I then did the full de-install (I had previously done this).  I
waited to install the slimserver and shifted over to the Airport
utility.
-I confirmed that it was set to share public IP address
-I then reserved a static IP for the IMAC using your instructions.
I got the mac address by by going to System Preferences-Network-Show
AirPort and looking at the AirPort ID.  I didn't do the powerbook at
the same time, I'll have to add it later.  Hopefully this isn't a
problem.  I'm only trying it on the IMAC right now.  I got a bit
confused here and didn't realize that the powerbook would show a
different address by doing the same thing in it's system preferences.
-Here's where I continue to mess up.  I saved the changes and the
Airport restarted.  I unplugged all my slim players but I didn't reboot
the IMAC.  I just realized that I didn't reboot the IMAC after I had
already installed slimserver, started it running and plugged all of the
players back in.  I started to connect to slim on my first Squeezebox
and realized.  So I'm now I really don't know where I'm at.
-While in Airport utility I changed the DHCP lease to 10 days.  Mine
was also preset to 4 hours.  In poking around through the settings I
went to Airport tab>clicked wireless options button and I see a WPA
group key timeout set to one hour?  I have absolutely no idea what this
is but thought I'd mention it.  Here are some settings I copied down
from the Airport:
- IPV4 Address: 10.0.1.2
- DHCP Range: 10.0.1......the one was selected in a drop down
menu
-DHCP beginning address 10.0.1.2

Some Current settings from the slimserver (still unbooted mac):
SlimServer: 10.0.1.197
DNS Server: 10.0.1.1
Gateway:10.0.1.1
Obtain IP: Auto
IP Address: 10.0.1.2
Thanks for trying to help me out but I'm not sure where I'm going from
here.
