You don't have to use DHCP. I have each computer on my LAN set up with a specific private IP address. This is necessary because I run a number of intra-LAN services, such as HTTP, SSH, and FTP. > I use a router because I have machines (such as an older Powerbook) that can't > take an airport card and have to be wired to the Internet. If that's your only requirement, you still don't need a separate router. My LAN includes only one AirPort-capable machine and seven or eight machines that are wired to a hub, which is then in turn wired to my AirPort base station. The AirPort base station does all the Internet routing for my entire network. -- Adam Bailey | Chicago, Illinois [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Finger/Web for PGP [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.lull.org/adam/ -- 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/>
