	Well it is a fact that letting a router choose your IP number 
will ruin any *REAL* networking. You MUST know that computer A 
is 192.168.0.5 And Computer B is 192.168.0.6 and your gateway 
is the router at 192.168.0.0.

	There is a way to tell Ubuntu to insist on a particular IP 
number. I am going to find out how using Google first. I will 
put in Ubuntu, ip number, fixed and see what it finds.

	Finally chose a IP number that is near the number the router 
used. You find that with $ sudo ifconfig and you should write 
down all the numbers. They will all be useful. Have fun.
