Folks,
Many of you have seen my network traffic as I struggle to set up a small 2-subnet Samba-served LAN, and many of you have offered help in that endeavor, for which I thank you. Now, however, I'm confused.

Eric, if I read your diagram correctly you're using the Linksys as your hub/switch? Did you know that while there are buggier pieces of equipment than a Linksys I cannot think of them offhand? Get rid of the trash and install a real firewall and a real switch and your problems will at least become consistant, if not go away.
Mike-
The Linksys sits on the edge of my LAN and fronts for it to the Internet. Everything that's happening on the LAN, including the on-again-off-again connection to my Samba server (which, by the way, is up today, but since I don't know why it's so unreliable, I don't consider this problem solved), is happening behind the Linksys.
