This could be as simple as needing a crossover cable. It looks like you're using a standard patch cable to connect one router to another, which may or may not work, depending on whether either of the routers have autosensing ethernet ports. The ports on a ethernet hub or switch are wired differently that a PC network card or your Squeezebox so that the send and receive pins are matched up when using a standard patch cable. When you have two devices that are wired the same, like two routers, you need a crossover cable, a special cable that makes the pin swap for you. There is still no need to configure your new router as a router. Make sure it has a unique IP address outside of the range your DHCP server hands out, and disable DHCP on it. There is still the issue of the crossover cable above. -- 4mula1 SqueezeCenter 7.3.1 + Solaris 10 x86: Because everything else would've been easy!
