Lonnie,
I will give you an AMEN (again) for touting the many benefits of a
properly designed network. I am right there with ya. I hope it
"takes" for some folks here.

For the most part, I would agree with this. DHCP is good idea.
PPPoE is better (IMHO). Both offer the benefits of easy
renumbering. PPPoE offers authentication as a "bonus". Hotspot

that is a matter of design. I will agree with the idea that a
bridged network is a very poor design choice...but you all knew that
