[BC] "Jealous" equipment

[Dana Puopolo]

Yep. Conflicting gateway addresses will shut the entire network down! Not to
mention that you won't even be able to get into the router to see what's
wrong.
I always run my LAN IP addresses at either 192.168.0.xxx or 192.168.15.xxx.
That way I know that I'll be okay with stuff like the WW1 MAX-it simply won't
work until it's re-configured. Also, I know that I can cascade another router
without any problems generally, as most of them today are 192.168.1.xxx.

-D

I've also seen this especially with the new Westwood MAX receiver. When 
you first turn it on it's NOT DHCP enabled and it's on 192.168.1.1, 
which happens to be the static address of many (Linksys default) 
routers. Talk about an instant LAN clog up.
