This sounds good. Thanks to all responders. One question. I found the buffalo manual online. I don't see how I can assign fixed IP addresses on its 192.168.11.x network. That is I want the LAN connection to my laptop ajglap to be 192.168.11.70, the wifi connection to that machine be .71. Similarly for oldlap I want to use .73 and .74, for my two printers .50 and .55 (both are LAN), etc My current linksys (wrt54G) with the open source "tomato" firmware does this. Is there firmware for the buffalo that does it as well? thanks, allan
