Great! Wondered where you've been. :-) How's the little one?

We got a base station. It has both a modem serial jack and an ethernet
jack. My network has a wireless hub (with wired jacks as well, of course)
connected to my desktop box.
: I'm a little confused because the BS will have its own DHCP server if I remember
: right.
Really? Okay, I didn't know that. I was looking at the preferences page on
the apple and trying to figure out how to set up TCP/IP. I was under the
assumption the BS was just another hub, and I had to assign it an address.
Since you got me going with DHCPD, I tried that, but it didn't work. Are
you suggesting all I need to do is patch the BS to my hub and set the laptop
to get the DHCP address itself? If so, how do I get my desktop box to
recognize the BS?
