Great advice from all hands. Although you don't hace to reboot to pick up a nnew net config or DHCP prodived address. Just do an IPCONFIG /RELEASE followed by an IPCONFIG /RENEW from a command window.

BTW, I'm using a linksys WRT54Gg with great success. It's the DHCP server and firewall between my Starband gateaway PC and the rest of my internal net.

I hear ya, but this is one of those cases where I'd rather be a tortoise than a hare. Rebooting forces a rebuild of all the control blocks so there can't be any issues about crap being left behind.

In spite of what Big M says about not needing to reboot for this change or that (specifically under W2K and XP) subtle problems seem to go away when a full reboot is done.
