Shucks. What happens if you disable DHCP on the ADSL router and set it
so it picks up its number from the Airport?

Alternatively - try static IP addresses?

My concern here is that your Airport is dragging down the connection
and that packets are going PowerBook Airport ADSL Router instead
of PowerBook ADSL router. Your ADSL router is wireless or
hardwired?
