    old thread, but still maybe usefull: it's usually most convenient to hookup the airport (or any another wifi-statoin) to your lan, without anything like NAT or DHCP enabled. usually the cable/adsl modem is already doing DHCP and NAT, so there's no reason to put another layer on top... this way...
