I think your right about the routing not working but that is my
puzelment too.  I switched my eth1 (running airport) to dhcp (a server
on the lan) and I aquire an IP and the proper routing table and I then
can connect to the internet.


OK, Now after typing out a detailed report of my new work, both static
and dhcp are now working.  For some reason once I got the dhcp to work
and then switch to the static, it all works and all is well for wi-fi
and I can ping the internet and my lan.

Thanks to all who have helped me with this project and the understand of
wireless.
