   It looks like you are absolutely correct, and thanks very much for   
   pointing that out.

   I can see where I jumped to that conclusion, though.  My router is   
   currently 192.168.1.13, and when I was trying to tell it what addresses   
   it could assign for DHCP, the range had to start above that.  I see now   
   the range could have been entirely below 192.168.1.13, as long as the   
   router's address wasn't /within/ the range available for DHCP.   
      
   Umm... would you have any suggestions on the "best practice" way to set   
   up my little Ethernet/WiFi LAN (or where to look for advice)?  I'm   
   willing to reconfigure everything if it will be an improvement.  As   
   mentioned, I have one wired desktop, one wired network printer, one   
   wireless desktop, one wired/wireless laptop, and one combination DSL   
   modem & wired/wireless router.   
      
   Somehow that "Computer Networking" course I had in 1990 doesn't seem to   
   be much help with this. :-)
