Just wondering if that may have een the problem
I do something similar, on my network you have to configure your own IP, default, and DNS servers to get on. That way I dont have to log onto the Router each time I have a guest. In my range of IP's I allow 2 more than I have computers, so I can have two guests at the house (or 2 other PC's) and not mess with teh computer.

Plus the IP range is not the default that ships with the router, so someone couldnt just drive by and configure 192.168.1.100 and get on.
