Uhh Ward, I wrote that backwards. But let me ask you this: is it a
Graphite Base Station or a Snow Base Station?
If it is the Graphite, you will need to get a router so that the
equipment is like this (Since this is text, I hope the things line up!)
modem --- router -- switch --- wired computers, and rest of the network
|---- Airport based computers
If it is the Snow Base Station, then you can pull it off without buying
the router, by using one ethernet connection to go to the modem and the
other to go to the switch (use the base station as a router/dhcp server):
