Right.  By default they were different but on the same 3rd octet.

Worked like a charm.  Just had to do an IPCONFIG release/renew on the wired clients and also renew on the router before setting it to static.

Now for some reason, my main laptop that was always wireless will only connect wired but that's not a big deal (at least for now) since it sits right next to the RG.  Really strange that it won't even let me VIEW the wireless networks even though I've cycled the adapter on/off. Have even manually started the WZC service but still no luck on that piece.

Will check it again after I reboot without the cable connected.

Thanks again for all of the assistance.
