OK, now I have replaced that router = Linksys WG54 with another
Linksys WG54 that I updated the firmware on and checked it out as
working well. Then I set it up for my Network = DHCP at defaults
192.168.1.1, disabled wireless completely, gave it a password and
plugged it into my network. Everything works great ... except for the
TV devices. Same issue.
<Invalid DNS name Please check DNS settings>
Of course, the DNS numbers are correct
Let the TV automatically configure the network = all numbers are
correct. Run internal TV network TEST = PASS ( this occurs on all
three TV devices)
but when I try to connect to anything I get the above message
So I went to the TV and manually changed the DNS numbers to something
else... didn't help
Then I manually setup the entire network on the TV... didn't work
Then I tried changing the gateway from 192.168.1 to 192.168.3 which
is the WAN router but it didn't accept that
Then I plugged the TV directly into the router with a different
cable... same problem.
Nothing I have tried has worked. The TV, the BRD, and the WD Live all
accept the auto settings and all three pass the internal network test
but none of them can actually connect to either the LAN shares or the internet.
But if I plug it into the WAN router then boom, I am online... but
not my LAN where the media files are located! Pretty frustrating.

Can you do a retask of devices? Save current configurations of the
routers and then reverse them, putting the LAN router in place where
the WAN router is and then the WAN where the LAN is. Seems to me it
is something in the LAN router causing the issue.
Do you have a spare router you can just replace the LAN router with?
Firmware on LAN router?
Possible Packet Filtering on LAN router?
Anything show up in the log for the LAN router?
