Most linksys routers can be configured for passthrough mode. Then they'll act as an access point/switch rather then a routing device. In this way the clients will grab their IP from the main router. Not sure what your environment is, but if if the main routing device is your ISP your in a pickle. But if it's a University network or some other such set up where you have access to the main routing device's admin your good as gold. If it's a small business type situation (so the main router is ISP controlled), they may want to look into investing just a tad more for a better network device. You'd get some added benefits like VPN and virtual lans which might make everything all around easier. -james ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
