I moved in with my son while my house is being remodeled. I have a Windows laptop that I connect to his home network wirelessly. I have a Linksys WRT54G that I would like to use with two FreeBSD boxes on a local network but also with the Windows notebook wired in. I changed the IP of the router to 192.168.1.2 and started the local addresses at 192.168.1.200. I left DHCP on and plugged the ethernet cables for all the computers into the lan side only.
This worked once. I was able to ping the FreeBSD boxes and tried to connect via ssh. It asked me to accept the security stuff for ssh and, after saying "yes", it hung. Any attempts afterwards only gets me a port rejected response.
I switched everything off, then on, but now none of that works and, plugging the ethernet cable from the laptop to the router blocks internet access on the Windows computer.
I so rarely deal with the networking side once it's set up that I tend to forget everything. Hints or tips please.
