This is fine if you don't wish to have some firewall protection that the router provides and all of your machines talk to the Airport. The latter is due to the fact that you are either assigning the static IP you get from your ISP to the Airport, or, if you are using DHCP, the Airport has the client id. In other words, to your ISP, it should appear as if only one machine is connected to the Internet. Or you can buy a second IP. I have some wired computers as well that I connect to the router, which also acts as a DHCP server. ==Tamer -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
