Perhaps I missed something. I thought that you said that you had to
manage the DSL connection with wired computers by way of the Base
Station, which would be hard to do on a Graphite model...I have went
back and re-read the post and nope, you didn't say that. So then you are
hanging the Base Station off of a hub as a sub-net. I am assuming then
in the Base Station config side you have the tab set to connect using
PPPoE and filled in the username and service name and name servers. In
the network tab are you having the Airport clients share a single IP
address via NAT/DHCP?
If so then in the client computer you will need to tell it to connect
the Airport software via DHCP. But then you will need to turn on
AppleTalk so the OS9 and OS-X computers can chat back and forth.
