[Hidden-tech] conflict between Airport and Crocker network upgrade

I updated my router to ignore the service-name setting for customers.   
It fixed a lot of issues customers were having.

I'm back from lunch (Wendy's at the mall, I DON'T recommend it.   
*bleck*)  and have an Apple Airport Extreme in our lab getting  
configured.  I know it will work, just need to figure out the settings.
