Well -- I actually need to set this up so more than one employee can do this
from their respective homes or from a hotel... so it makes sense to change
the LAN environment for the office instead of everyone's home.
When I look at the DHCP setup for the Linksys, is has a field that says
something like "begin assigning DHCP addresses from 192.168.1.xxx" -- you
can change the value of "xxx" but nothing else.... Linksys model WRT54GSV4.
