If you setup your airport correctly, all other computers should be in 
auto setup. You don't need to change anything whether you have an 
internet connection or not.

If you setup your airport (or any wireless modem), as:

1. it should do network translation (NAT).
2. it has a fixed IP of 192.168.1.1, mask 255.255.255.0
3. turn on DHCP server with address range e.g. 192.168.1.100 - 0192.168.1.200


Any auto setup computer will get an address in the 1-200 range.

Any fixed IP device can use address 2-99

You don't need to change anything anymore, unless you work without the airport.
