Need help from one of the smart ones....
With all the unbelievable problems with Insight I had to install a backup source for getting online, so I installed a DSL line, to give added protection I put it behind an Airport Express router, as I already had done with Insight. So I am running two Airport Express routers, named them each differently, put them on the network and by golly it works unbelievably well, this blew me away for this would have taken a degree had I tried to get all this to work under Windows I am convinced. I have one problem when I put one of the computers on DSL and the others are on Cable, the two routers are wanting to use the same IP addresses, thus shutting down the DSL for it was wanting the same IP address that was already in use by the Insight router. When I open the Airport Admin utility I find that once I am logged in I can click on the "network" tab and there I have an option for "share a range of IP addresses" which is dimmed, and the "share a single IP address (Using DHCP and NAT) is what is highlighted. So, can I get around my problem by selecting the cable network (since this say using DHCP) I assume I can't use this with the DSL line, or is DHCP for the router and has nothing to do with Cable? If I do select the range, what numbers do I type in there? Below is the wording of the error that appeared on screen as DSL was shut down. The IP configuration that showed as an error read: 10.0.1.3 in sue by 00:11:24........DCHP Server 10.1.1.1 Most likely I have not explained this well, but someone out there my still be able to understand what is going on and what I need to do for correction.
