[P1] Software BaseStation?

[Joe Jones]

You can override  DHCP on most routers by selecting an ip address 
outside the range of host-assigned addresses. For example, my router 
doles out addresses in the range 192.168.1.100 to .255. If I set my 
ibook to something else on the same subnet (eg 192.168.2.100 the router 
accepts it as a fixed ip address.
