How is the Linksys connected to the D-Link? You should have a wire going from one of the LAN ports on the Linksys to one of the LAN ports on the D-Link. You do not want a wire going from the WAN port on the Linksys to the D-Link. The WAN port on the Linksys should not have anything connected to it (footnote). (footnote unless you have purposely bridged the WAN port so that it can act as a LAN port) Bill > _______________________________________________ > PLUG mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
