The manual says that when connecting the D-link to some other router (rather than directly to the Internet) DHCP on the D-link must be disabled. It seems that with the way I have things set up there's no "logical" D-link -> Linksys path -- I can't find any place in the D-link network configuration menu for setting the gateway address of the Linksys (192.168.1.1). The "free" tech at D-link (or I suspect somewhere in India) warned me in advance that he would have absolutely nothing to say about linksys or linux. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
