Michael, Thanks for your initial response and the second post asking if I got it working. The answer is - Partially.
I read the URL you provided and turned off the miscellaneous things that I don't know that I need. Since doing so I can access the other router at 10.0.0.254 so I can surf, but I still can't access the print server at 10.0.0.200. I was going to use the wireless connection today to see if the router stays accessible but needed to print something so went back to a copper link. Now I'm back on wireless and still able to surf. I don't understand why the wireless connection should behave any differently than the wired connections. I wondered if the D-Link was having problems with the high numbers of the range but I set its static IP address to 10.0.0.253 and it works okay there. The obvious place to blame is the print server itself. It is actually a wired SMC Barricade Router used as a switch and print server. It works fine with all my equipment including an Ubuntu box. The laptop works with it via copper or wirelessly via a Deliberant box. It works with the D-Link via copper but fails wirelessly. I don't have a clue how to troubleshoot this. Perhaps I should connect the DLink as a router and see if the wireless side can access the print server that way.
