Re: [PLUG] WAP DHCP & Cable DHCP and some static IP's


Ed,
I would give the WAP a static IP in the same subnet as the cable
modem/router, and disable the DHCP server on the wap, and plug everything
in. Let the cable device manage IPs.

You do not want to plug everything in as is. Having 2 DHCP servers on a
network may cause problems, and even if it doesn't, it overcomplicates things
and will make troubleshooting future problems more difficult in the
future.
