I've got several other customers running exactly this same setup with no apparent problems. So it's not simply the firewall it would appear.

Yup, I know exactly what it is. The Firewall is breaking it :-)

Subject: [smartBridges] ABO and firewalls

I seem to have a few problems.

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.
