Dave,

I think trevors idea is a very good one. Although hypothetically having the router automatically assign an IP should work (it is how I have my router and Mac configured) trevors suggestion will definitely elminate any conflict issues... if one exists.

Short version, is that it can't hurt to do it. :)

Thanks for the input trevor.

Another option would be to set-up a remote access point. You willl have to give-up your wusb11 device and start anew-hardware wise. For instance, i use a dlink DWL2100AP to access a wireless internet connection outside of my workplace. I have an airport extreme base station connected to the dwl2100 via ethernet cable. The airport then brings the internet to any computer on the wireless system. You could use a dwl2100ap to pick-up the internet connection wirelessly, and then have you computer connected to the dwl2100 via their respective ethernet ports.
