Hi'ya folks...

Its late and I'm beaten, for the first time in 20 years of working with IT... IT wins. You see, I've added a linksys WRT54G to an existing network. I don't need the routing capabilities as I have ISA 2004 on a 2K2R2 connected to NTL 10Mbs.

Whilst I can ping the linksys from the wired network and connect from a laptop to the SSID, I can't connect from the laptop to the wired side of the network.

I have turned DHCP off, plugged the linksys in via a LAN port... I've tried a spare Motorola WiFi box and it works a treat. I've added a quick piccy so you can see how this is strung together.

I'm sure I'm doing something stupid - but hoped one of the folks on this board has blazed the trail before.

Thanks

Gary
