Thanks. I may come. I also want to get bluetooth going on my FC6 laptop. I just had a hot flash on the Vista issue. M$ likes DHCP and seems to reset itself. I like static IPs because DHCP seems like foo foo on a small home network. Maybe if I can configure the d-link to serve dhcp in a range of addresses and keep my static IPs out of that range, I can let M$ be M$.
