Not really, no. :) I'm still in the "planning" phase of this next change in the network. > The CB3 will request a DHCP address with it's MAC address (assuming it > is set to DHCP).

That's the problem I was hoping to avoid. Honestly, I really like (from a technical standpoint) the cable modem solution to all this. DOCSIS addresses pretty much every question I've ever had, and then some. Heck, it even includes enforcing your bandwidth quotas right there in the CPE, which gives me fits of giggles every time I think about it. And it's dead simple for the customer to set up, because there basically is no set-up to be done. I'm sure there's a way to duplicate the benefits of DOCSIS on a wireless network, I just haven't figured it out yet :) David Smith MVN.net -- WISPA Wireless List: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
