This I can I can do, and in the process I guess I should eliminate the IPs in the wired computers' hosts files? Should I replace them with the newly assigned static IPs? The other thing I can do is configure the router for the existing static IPs. Is that a better approach? (On second thought, maybe that won't work because the router uses the 192.168.1.2-64 range, and the existing IPs are in the 192.168.0.1-4 range.) > > Most routers also have "DMZ" function that would allow one of your > internal systems to have all externally originated traffic to be > forwarded to. This is useful to run an SSH, web or mail server. I'm not sure about this, but I am most concerned with file and printer sharing for now. > > Does this meet your needs?
