You can also give it a static IP address for the LAN connection. In that case, you probably do not want to use the WAN port at all. The hard part would be dividing up the DHCP assignments between the wired and wireless connections. On the other hand, you could use the WAN port on the WAP and let its DHCP server handle the IP address assignments for the wireless connections. You could still give it a static IP address, or let it get one from your DHCP server. The problem would be that all wireless connections would appear to be from the IP address of the WAP. But if you want to firewall off the wireless connections, that should actually make it easier. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
