I just remembered.. My network goes like this: Cable modem -- Router --pcs
& Wireless AP -- wireless Laptops..

The Router has the following hanging off it by Lan cable.. Cable Modem, 2
desktops and the Wireless AP. The Router is the DHCP server. The Router
doesn't list the Wireless AP in its list of attached devices, nor does it
list the modem. Maybe this is normal?
