Yep...if there is one thing I'm not usually short of, it's ideas. The only problem is their not always good ones. My suggestion would be, that if you are always going to assign (static) ip addresses to ALL the devices on your network, then turn off DHCP on your router, I'm not at all familiar with the AirLink 101, but it probably has a browser interface and an option somewhere within that to disable DHCP, however, and I warned you that their not always good ones, this is not ideal if you have a lot of friends and relatives stopping by and wanting to use your wireless network. Another suggestion would be to set it up so that DHCP was only handing out 8 or 10 addresses, somewhere up high like .243 to .253 or somewhere down low like .10 to .20 which ever is less likely to conflict with addresses that you statically assign.
