Naw, there's no restriction on DHCP through an uplink. What you get through an uplink is a weaker signal in many el-cheapo hubs. Linksys in particular forbids two cascading uplinks on their "at home" class hubs. Still, it should have worked I'd think. It worked with my linksys hub, though I finally deep-sixed the hub in favor of a full-duplex switch (I told you I was a LAN speed junkie <GG>). I don't know how long your cables are--sounds like you've got everything close together--but this is the only guess I've got. Anyhow, good you got it going. I'd still consider static IP addresses if I were you. All in all, static addresses are less trouble when you have close control over the whole network. Says the man who never configured DHCP in his life <G> (and with any luck will keep it that way, I might add <GGG>). Incidentally, if your r9100 falls on the slippery tile so it can't issue addresses, static addresses will make it easier to route to a dial IP backup. Spots
