This sounds good. Thanks to all responders. One question. I found the |
| 31 |
buffalo manual online. I don't see how I can assign fixed IP addresses |
| 32 |
on its 192.168.11.x network. That is I want the LAN connection to my |
| 33 |
laptop ajglap to be 192.168.11.70, the wifi connection to that machine |
| 34 |
be .71. Similarly for oldlap I want to use .73 and .74, for my two |
| 35 |
printers .50 and .55 (both are LAN), etc |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
My current linksys (wrt54G) with the open source "tomato" firmware does |
| 38 |
this. Is there firmware for the buffalo that does it as well? |
