Hi,
I have an odd problem that I don't understand and wonder if anyone can shed some light on it.

Based on off-list correspondence with G. T. Smith, I have already removed the wire link from the broadband router to the 10.3 box. It wasn't worth the trouble it was causing and I don't have a lot of time to spend on it. My overriding concern is to make the 10.3 box reachable from the Internet. At some point, I may try to reestablish the DHCP link from the NAT side of the wireless router once I learn more about what's required to make such a topology function properly.

Do you have the routing tables for the devices? Have you done a traceroute to see where the routing goes (both directions) ?
Not any longer. Yesterday I removed the cable from the wireless router to the 10.3 box and disabled that interface. On Wednesday 07 November 2007 00:18, Rodney Baker wrote:
Looking at your connection diagram, it appears as though you could have a routing loop if you really have 2 connections between the 8-port switch and the 10.3 box (one direct, one via the wireless router).
Yes, I do. I did fail to mention that the wireless router is applying NAT and the DHCP-supplied IP addresses are non-routeable. The same page allows the establishment of up to twenty static routes, but I have none defined.
What firmware are you running in the WRT54G? Is it configured to support spanning-tree routing?
The main page of the configuration interface says "Firmware Version 1.00.6". On the Advanced Routing page, there are two modes Gateway and Router. It's set on Router
if not, try removing one of the links to the 10.3 box (probably the one to the wireless router). The wireless clients should be able to route to the 10.3 box via the ethernet switch.
I did that yesterday. It's working, but now I cannot access the NAT side of the wireless router from the 10.3 box, which was why I added the cable from that box to the wireless router.
