Making it a DHCP server wouldn't be too hard but I can't do that. I am preparing the Ultra 20 to be my home router instead of the Motorola box. Right now the Ultra 20 is on the inside of my home net and is set to get its address by DHCP because eventually it will be getting its address from Comcast by DHCP.
So why can't you do that? If It make sense to run the ultra 20 as a router it also makes sense to run it as a DHCP server. You might need to hard-code its "soon-to-be-external" nic with an IP and make that single change when you promote it to router status, but other than that I see no impediment to having it serve as a dhcp server for your net. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
