Tom, disregards my previous post.

The Linksys router defaults to 192.168.1.1 Its DHCP IP address range
defaults to 192.168.1.100 through 192.168.1.149.

So addresses 192.168.1.2 though 192.168.1.99 are available as static IPs.

My VAXStation's IP  is 192.168.1.96, one Windows 98SE PC's IP is
192.168.1.90, because it runs a LPD server package the VAXStation
prints to. The second Windows 98SE PC is set up as a DHCP client,
which means its IP address is 192.168.1.100.

On Tom's LAN, all PCs, print servers, H-P 3000s should all have the same
netmask; e.g. 255.255.255.0.

I do have some ports forwarded to my VAXStation so it can be reached
from the internet.
