Re: [H] Network issue
So are you firewalling the WAP or just using a separate IP range? Worse comes to worse, assuming you are double NAT'd with the WAP doing DHCP for it's subnet. I'd setup the WAP as Gateway, DNS DHCP server and it's DNS client pointing to gateway router. This should properly forward DNS requests to the main router rather than relying on the WAP subnet clients being able to talk to main router by NAT. If the WAP has it's firewall enabled, disable it long enough to establish if it's blocking anything. On that path, setting up Syslog setup for full logging (high+deny/accept) output from from all routers to a central syslog server (kiwi freeware version, capture events to file) running on a LAN PC would be a a good way to diagnose what's up. If you go this route I'd say install latest supported DD-WRT on all routers capable of running it if you have not already done so.

I do need them, because I have employees, friends and family using my WAP that I don't want to even see my LAN. The TV and the BRD I can solve most of the problem just by plugging the media devices switch into the WAN, because they don't need to access my LAN, but the WD live does. For the time being I have done this, although I am going to try and forward the TV devices IP number to the WAN as a gateway and see what happens.

What about that 3 switch or 3 hub limit for an Ethernet connection?

[H] VPN connection seals computer off from LAN
This is very weird. I have a VPN setup and it's been acting weird - when I connect to it using one of the machines on my LAN, that machines effectively drops off the network. It can browse the internet just fine, but none of the other machines on the LAN can connect to it. Interestingly, although it says its LAN IP is still 10.0.1.2, I can't ping it with that IP. I have been using this VPN on this particular machine for months with no problems until recently. However, using the same VPN setup on another machine on the same LAN, it will connect to the VPN and still be visible on the LAN and can still connect to other clients on the LAN. I've double checked the VPN settings are they are exactly the same on both machines.

I don't have the option to turn them off without turning DHCP off on these older Linksys routers Worse comes to worse, assuming you are double NAT'd I am not clear on what that means?Do you mean that the LAN is handling DHCP and then sending that to the WAN which is also DHCP? with the WAP doing DHCP for it's subnet. I'd setup the WAP as Gateway, DNS DHCP server and it's DNS client pointing to gateway router.

Do you mean WAN instead of WAP here, because right now the wireless part of the network isn't involved?
Re: [H] Network issue
OK, let me see if I can clarify the setup here. Internet-Ethernet-WANPort-Router1-LANPort-Ethernet-WANPort-Router2-LANPort-Ethernet-TVDevice Router1 WANPort is DHCP Internet Router1 DNS server is ISP Router1 is the Gateway and DNS server for all Router2 is DHCP server for SubnetA Router2 WANPort is DHCP Intranet SubnetA Router2 DNS server is Router1 Router2 is Gateway and DNS server for SubnetB Router2 is DHCP server for SubnetB TVDevice is DHCP client on SubnetB TVDevice Gateway DNS server is Router 2 Is this accurate?

Re: [H] VPN connection seals computer off from LAN
Sounds like split tunneling being disabled on the one computer...could that somehow be set on the VPN server if it's not showing on the client?
