A-
ha! The key difference in your setup is that you have
both a wired router and an AirPort. This is a fairly unusual configuration, and you're right, you may need to change some settings for this to work properly. Ironically, you ideally want to ask the AirPort
not to assign IPs itself, instead letting the router do this. That's known as "bridge mode". The fact he got it to work with the AirPort issuing IPs means there was some other configuration issue, and he sidestepped it by essentially setting up two routers with their own IP addressing.
In any case, most people actually have either an AirPort, a wired router,
or a combo wired-wireless router (like the Linksys WRT54G). That makes the setup much simpler. In any case, I think the original poster is not having the same issue.
