Thank you for this information. I have not seen Steven Engalnds Weblog before, but it seems to preceded the original Michis blog that I was using. I have not taken the time yet to see if they are the same, but expect very similar.
I am not clear on the static route's purpose or how to configure this. I am not aware I have had any issues. I only offer one in the main area of the house, too bad for guests if they need more.
I do not wish to hijack this thread. If you can can you please respond to the linked thread on the reason for and config of a static route I will test this.
