Heck, a third why.  Unless the Netgear has storage it keeps track of
DHCP leases on, a computer based DHCP is much more flexible.  The few
times I have had to reset the linksys, it forgets who had what.  Not
a biggie, but you also can't tell it to always give a certain address
to a certain MAC address, or some of the other fun DHCP things...
