[conspire] Routing question

[prosolutions at gmx.net]

one thing if forgot to mention is, if you do place the router on the
same subnet, be sure to assign its ip to something other than the
present gateway (i'm guessing its 192.168.1.1), e.g. use 192.168.1.2 for
it, and then configure its dhcp server to assign 192.168.1.1 as the
default gw to clients.
