||Ah! That's a help. One thing...does the Linux box have two NICs in it? ||If so, what are they and what IP addresses do you have on them?
Two NICS: eth0 is WAN 209.249.226.25 eth1 is LAN 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0

Question: If my laptop is getting a 192.168.2.1-255 subnet address via DHCP from the Linux machine, and the Linux Lan is set to 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.000, how is it that the AP which, presumably is assigned to a different subnet able to pass traffic? This is what I don't understand.

SNIP: Info mostly already known, but suggestions noted and will be taken.
||Well, you could run something like this:

Pardon this mangled reply. I got tangled beween a couple of computers and lost your original post.
