Well, I tried it both ways... The first thing that was serving DHCP was
the Airport Base Station. After that did not work, I turned off DHCP on
the ABS, and then turned it on on the server. Still no luck.
It keeps throwing me error -60088.
An example from ChatBuddy:
"An error occured in OpenLink. Problem connecting. DHCP server
unavailable or unable to configure this device. Error = -60088"
Is there a place that you can look and see what your IP is, when DHCP is
serving it out to the Newt?
Stumped.
