   Heck I don't know...I took the router out of the box, I plugged it
in...hooked up thecables and all three computers hooked up with the net.
I'll dig out the manual and see what settings are available to change.
    And sorry about the typo  it was a 24 hour lease, PM to PM.(or twelve
hours before it checks in)  But my problem happened in roughly an hour.
No warping, no indication of lag, I've seen that plenty with other times
when the wife was dloading mp3's.  (and I made sure both of the other
systems were NOT online at racetime)

   Looking at the info for the router, it has a 4 day lease.  HOWEVER,
reading the help file said to disable dhcp on the router if you already have
dhcp enabled on the net.  Now I don't know if this means my local 3 system
lan or the bigger attbi net. (if so,  I'm gonna try disabling it and see
what happens)
