Thank you for your advice, but I need some clarification. Im using Linksys's internet explorer based interface to edit the settings, and I am having some trouble trying to find where to set those settings.

I found on the basic setup page a field called local IP address, which I thought you meant by base address which was set to 192.168.1.1, which I changed like you suggested, but then I couldn't get to linksys settings at either the original IP or the new IP anymore, so I reset it back to factory settings again and reset up the server so atleast have access to file sharing.

I cant seem to find a field called either base address or DHCP server pool start address, but I did find DHCP.

Thanks for your advice,
