At my house, my only high-speed internet option is an Aircard of some sort (Sprint Sierra 595u, specifically), which (up until yesterday) i was sharing rather successfully in a wireless ad-hoc network consisting of my macbook pro, and 3 other windows machines. The computer with the modem is a Windows XP Home laptop.

Now, i realize the card cannot plug into the Time Capsule, and yes, i do know there are routers made specifically for this, but the Time Capsule would be great so i can have a backup device without hogging a USB port on my macbook.

at any rate, having done some research, it seems that the issue with using XP's Internet Sharing in addition to a separate router is that both are basically DNS servers (correct me please if i'm using incorrect terminology). I have read that i can do two things to bypass this problem: 1) disable DHCP on the Time Capsule, thereby making it an access point; or 2) put the "main" computer (with the modem on it) in a different subnet mask than the router and client computers.

I've been attempting option #2, but have had some troubles in the Airport Utility... one is that i cannot seem to find an option to set the Internet connection to a Static IP... also, when choosing a different subnet mask, what should i change it to? does it matter?

so, i realize this relies heavily on XP... sorry about that. any comments, recommendations, or words of wisdom would be most welcome.
To be honest, it's late for me, but I could probably help you with a little thought, if you haven't gotten it solved within the next few days. But my question in the meantime:

You seem to have a lot invested into your technology, why not get traditional high speed (cable, dsl, etc...)?

i wish. In my area, it's either an Aircard, satellite, or dialup. And through best buy, i get a great deal on Sprint's service.

in my specific area of St Louis. I'd say a few miles in either direction DSL and Cable are available... but not here.
