Subject: icky network trouble again

> Upstairs router has link to the internet. Three machines are directly

> Settings for upstairs are:
> ip=192.168.1.2
> dhcp=yes

> Settings for downstairs are:
> ip=192.168.1.1
> dhcp=NO
> mode is router, not gateway

> For a while, everything worked, than all of a sudden things started
