As long as you DHCP server can handle it. We've been running a D-Link WAP/Router on a project network at a site I'm currently working on. It acts as a DHCP server - we have a couple of printers and a couple of workstations on static IPs and the rest using 192.168.100.xxx served up by the WAP. It's been paying up so the suppliers came in with a replace. They brought in a Linksys today to replace it. When they went to set up the DHCP server, on it, it turned out to be hard coded to use 192.168.1.xxx. Unfortunately, I'm using two network cards on my workstation there so that I can interface with both the project network and the primary client network - which uses 192.168.1.xxx :-( -- Stuart
