That forum thread has the settings you will need to change. Personally, I would assign it an address in the upper ranges of your private subnet, rather than 192.168.1.2 like that guy was suggested, but I think it's a matter of personal preference and has little effect on scalability. I can see one bad thing happening though... Your wireless router goes dead for some reason (wife/roommate unplugs it...what have you) then you log onto the network with a wired client and it grabs up the 192.168.1.2 address. You realize that your access point is down and turn it back on. You then have a conflict. I would go with 192.168.1.254 in this case ;) - disable DHCP server - router IP: 192.168.1.254 (or whatever private subnet you picked out...) - net.mask: 255.255.255.0 Second, I wouldn't put too much stock in letterboy's followup answers...he doesn't seem to be credible and I know he is wrong on a few things. If there is an option to set the gateway on your linksys, set it to the address of your current webserver/router.
