I've got a customer with an ABO, and like all my customers he has a Linksys BEFSR41 firewall. The WAN port is static and public, the LAN is 192.169.1.1 and is static.
There seems to be a problem passing traffic. But if the firewall is removed from the loop and it's WAN address assigned to the PC it works fine.
I have this offending firewall here on my test bench now, hooked to yet another ABO and it's doing the same thing. I then replaced it with a new Netgear (more features/expensive) firewall and this one also does the same thing. That is, with either firewall in the loop it won't pass traffic. Yet from a PC on the private side of the firewall I can ping both the firewall (private) and the ABO (public), AND from a PC on my wired Ethernet I can ping the ABO across the wireless.
Anyone got a clue what this is all about? Oh, and I've done the reset to factory defaults on both devices MULTIPLE times. Occasionally it works, but most of the time it won't pass any traffic between the PC and my tower if there is a firewall in the loop.
Thanks.
