I think I'm there now. I've changed the Shub to 0.1 and the TP to 0.2. I was completely confused by my netbook which wouldn't connect when the wifi was turned off, but that turned out to be a Windows thing where it favours wireless over wired connections, but I've amended that. The one thing I haven't tried, because I haven't been successful in earlier attempts, is to turn off the DHCP on the TP. On every other occasion, when I do that I can no longer connect to the TP (wired or not). I feel more confident this time, though, because the netbook also has a .0.x IP.

I've added the TP to the reservation list in the hub admin, but I'm not entirely sure what that does.

I've now turned off DHCP, successfully (kinda). The netbook will still connect wirelessly, but the phone will not.
Have I done this correctly? I've given the wireless network from the TP a different name than the wireless from the Shub.
