Hey, now if I can do that with the Superbowl, that will be better. Sorry, I 
had to dig into a little football here...I'm thinking Pittsburgh may take it 
with their fired up offense and defense with the way they romped Denver last 
week, and Denver ain't no slackers. But then again, you never know, Seattle 
can come out ahead with Shaun Alexander running right up the middle avoiding 
Troy Polamalu and Larry Foote every other play and gain yardage and TDs.

Tough call, but I'm leaning towards Pittsburgh...

About your DHCP service on the router, if  I may offer a little advise and a 
suggestion with AD: Use the DC's DHCP server, and not the router, since it 
offers many more Options, such as 015: domain specific suffix, and 044 & 
046: WINS, and the BIGGEST advantage of all, it works seamlessly with 
Dynamic DNS Updates. Routers can't touch that since it's based on the 
Windows DNS and DHCP APIs working together.
