If there's a handbook of "basic networking" I'd love to read it. Every
source on network principles I've tried so far quickly loses me and
itself in geek speak--which I'm sure reads like esperanto to the
initiated . Am still on the hunt for a basic set of instructions--and
meanwhile have learned more from gurus like yourself who are willing to
offer advice than from anything I've managed to glean from the literature.
(Setup so far is based on a literal following of the instruction primers
in the dd-wrt wiki).
Thanx Ben--and especially for the tip on the proper numbering of the IP
address. Someone else suggested the 192.168.5-something and I didn't
know enough to realize this departs from the rule.

Yeah, you might want to read up on some basic networking too :) It
could certainly be tied to the dhcp lease, but those expiration times
are a useful thing, and the dhcp will auto-renew without any
intervention under "normal" conditions.
Good luck & rtfm :)
