	The Airport is capable of using just three different networks, 
picked from a menu (i.e., you can't type in numbers to over-ride the 
choices):

		10.0.1.x/255.255.255.0
		172.16.1.x/255.255.255.0
		192.168.1.x/255.255.255.0

	This is true for all Airport base stations that I know of.  If 
you can't manually change the handheld devices to one of these 
networks, you're screwed.
