    DHCP fails with two LinkSys BEFSR41s

    On this router, the reset button works two ways. Push it briefly, and it's like a power-off reset -- a soft reset. Push it in and hold it for a long time (I forget how long, 45 seconds or something like that) and it's a hard reset to factory defaults. If I recall correctly, the default password...

    DHCP fails with two LinkSys BEFSR41s

    Old Man, Thanks for the suggestion, but multicast pass-through is enabled by default, and I didn't change the setting. --j.

    DHCP fails with two LinkSys BEFSR41s

    I'm ok with just using a switch, I don't think I have any good reason to use routing in terms of features like routing tables, do I? Or am I missing something? (Which wouldn't be surprising...) What mystifies me is that EVERYTHING else works fine when IP's are hard-coded. DNS lookups, HTTP...

    DHCP fails with two LinkSys BEFSR41s

    Had more time to read the reply this morning. The main reason for having two of them is physical separation. The connection between the two involves about 100' of cable. All the ports in the world on a single device wouldn't help there. :) I'm just trying to achieve a single simple network...

    DHCP fails with two LinkSys BEFSR41s

    The DSL/WAN switch is in gateway mode and is the DHCP server. The "internal" switch is in router mode and has DHCP disabled.

    DHCP fails with two LinkSys BEFSR41s

    OldMan, By the way, it's probably obvious that I'd like the PCs on each switch to be visible to each other for file sharing and such. There aren't any settings enabled to block UDP that I can find. What makes you conclude this setup is not using the router functionality? Would I have to...

    DHCP fails with two LinkSys BEFSR41s

    I have DSL connected to a "master" BEFSR41. WAN is DHCP, LAN is 192.168.1.1, mask 255.255.255.0, DHCP server starting at 192.168.1.100, no advanced options configured. LinkSys properly receives DHCP settings from DSL. A single PC is connected to the master. It correctly receives DHCP...
