[olug] Override Default Route on a LinksysWRT54G?

[Shannon]

if your connected via the lan port on the wrt. then I would look at the 
address you are getting from the wireless on the laptop. if you are not 
getting any address. then you need to go to the wrt54g and set the dhcp 
server to run in the same address range as your berfsr41 and then 
disable it. that should set the lan address on the wrt54g so that it 
match's the berfsr41. then when your  laptop looks for an IP that should 
have opened the path to the befsr41.

if not. you might want to enable dhcp on the wrt54g and just let it hand 
out an ip range other then the berfsr41

berfsr41

192.168.1.1

dhcp leases  192.168.1.25 - 192.168.1.99

wrt54g
dhcp leases 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.150

or whatever you need
