The laptop is Vista w/wifi, Core is Ubuntu with USB wifi dongle, Applecrate
is Mac OS original Bondi Blue and too old for a current wifi dongle. It gets
network from Core over ethernet crossover cable.

I just got a new USB wifi for Core, since whether any given wifi hardware
will work with Linux/Ubuntu is the matter of flipping a frakking coin. The
old one that will work with the Mac doesn't do anything but open WEP.

I can't for sure say it's Vista's fault, since changing the router security
seems to be the trigger - either machine may not be dealing with it
appropriately (and given Ubuntu's apparent hideous history of dealing with
router security I found searching the forums, I'd look at it first.) But it
could be settings on the router and not either machine.

It's a D-Link DI-524. I THINK it shouldn't have any LAN firewall action
going on, but I can look again and try to make sure.
