I believe that DHCP didn't work so well in 8.1 and earlier. Especially not on my 6400. I upgraded to 9.1 and it's worked fine ever since. Another option would be specifying a fixed IP for those older Macs, your router manual should tell you how. -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
