Slightly off topic - Strange Router behaviour....

Hi,

A bit of strange setup here...

At one end of the network there is a 8- way switch into which a couple
of PC's (192.168.0.210), some ATA's and a Smartbridge AirPoint-Pro
Access Point (192.168.0.241) are connected. (remote)

This in turns connects to a Smartbridge AirBridge. (192.168.0.240)

This is connected to a 8-way switch and then connected to my Netgear
ADSL router (192.168.0.205). (local)

The PC's at the remote end can all connect to the network and see all
the local ips and devices.

PC's at the local end (e.g. 192.168.0.200) can ping and connect all
the local devices and connect to the outside world via the adsl
router.

PC's/Devices at the remote end cannot connect the outside - either
ping or surf etc.

All IPs are issued via DHCP from the Netgear ADSL router - thus
ensuring the correct DNS and Gateway details etc.

I just cannot fathom out why the remote PC's cannot get outside the
network.

The remote PC's can ping the external IP address of the router - but
no further. All local machines can see everything!

Should I need to add routing tables to the PC's?

Many thanks

Matthew

I wish I could work out what the above means. All this local\remote
some devices have IP addresses, some don't. Doesn't make any sense to
me.

Don't worry - I've found a web site which tells me its the hardware
I'm using, so looks like it'll be going back!

Cheers anyway

The switch by any chance? Had a switch this week that would allow a
Vista laptop to connect to network and do all the normal networky things
but not allow it to connect to the internet. Connection directly to the
router, eliminating the switch allowed it to work just fine. An XP
laptop was unaffected using the same connection through the switch. A
new switch cured it. I can't work out why.
