Hi Henry.

Here are the results of what you suggest, from the server 192.168.0.2:;
#cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward 1
So the server is forwarding packets.
#netstat -rn Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 10.0.0.0 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0 #traceroute 10.0.0.5 traceroute to 10.0.0.5 (10.0.0.5), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 10.0.0.5 1.748 ms 1.779 ms 1.777 ms
Try the traceroute from one of the stations so that we can see what's going on with the routing. If you could put a station on the switch and do a traceroute on the other way, would also help. BTW, did you remember to configure the default gateway of the PRINTERS as the server? If not, that's your problem! Packets go from the stations to the printers, but don't return!
I can't see anything wrong here but I really don't know what I am doing. BTW does anyone know what 169.254.0.0 is?
Isn't it the IP class that Microsoft uses to automatically assign IP addresses to stations connected to a network without DHCP servers?
Thanks, Henry Harpending
