sorry, I haven't been following the entire thread. What about assigning
IP addresses instead of DHCP? All you would have to do is give each
computer a valid IP on the same subnet.
Because it's an ongoing pain in the butt if you have ANY coming and going
of systems...
For laptops that move between two or more sites with different address
ranges it is so much easier to use DHCP. Especially if you are using WiFi
sites on the run.
Personally,
I use locations for that. I have one with a static IP for work, one with a
static IP for home (same one if I'm using wireless or wired), and then one
with DHCP assigned to wireless or wired that I use when I'm on the road. Not
that there's anything wrong with using DHCP at home, but I thought I'd toss
this out as a way around using DHCP everywhere.

A better solution if its available is static mappings on the DHCP server -
that way there's absolutely no conflicts ever and the IP can be used with
NAT pass through if need be.
However, static mappings on SOHO routers can be spotty - some don't support
it, others support it in odd ways.
