Firstly, I suggest resetting the router... Most of these things have a
button that will put it back to factory specs...
Secondly, are you using static IP's? If the router has DHCP, you could
save yourself a whole heap of trouble. I used to use static IP's, but
I found it so much easier with DHCP. My router can specify things like
lease time, dynamic range, netmask, DNS server, etc etc etc... tis
good :o)
