            Another option (which is what I do) is to give the base
    station a static address and use another box for DHCP. This has the
    advantage that you have more control over the DHCP settings, and
    (more importantly) the BaseStation isn't wasting precious cycles
    doing DHCP/NAT - and can therefore handle more users!
