It's been a while, but I switched to static addressing and didn't follow up (though it's on my list of "bugs to report/ask about" after I have the time to put together a real report). There's been discussion before that some features of Linksys routers/access points are fairly broken, and more than likely the OS won't be changed to work with something nonstandard and unfriendly. I'll try to get to a tcpdump and a real bug report this weekend, if anyone else will find it helpful. CDJ -- Christian Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.aleph0.com/~chjones
