THat could be the DNS or WINS ip setting.


It's been a while but if the workstations have a LMHOST lookup box checked. I think you'll want that unchecked unless you have one on the workstations.

You can just statically set the IP address in Windows to something in the subnet range and the Linksys will know that one is not available, even with DHCP turned on. I've done it plenty of times in the past with no issues, most home routers are smart enough to figure out what IP addresses are being used and not available
