Yes, you're right of course. I had forgotten (it's been a long time
since I set this up) that I had configured the Linksys *not* to assign
the address 192.168.1.100 (the starting point for the range of addresses
it can assign is 192.168.1.101). That way, there are no conflicts.

But yes, it all does work for these very simple purposes.
