Randall- I'd suggest plugging an uplink cable from the 10.0.0.0 network into the "WAN" port of the Linksys router. Make sure you know whether or not you need a cross-over cable. I'll explain that further if needed. Linksys automatically assigns the internal LAN the 192.168.1.0/24 network scheme, so you should plug the 192 network segment into the designated "LAN" port of the router. This "192.168.1.0" scheme can be changed if needed, but this default should be fine for this situation. This solution also works great if your ISP stems from the 10 network, and access to the Internet is needed for the 192 network. You would need to setup DHCP on the 192.168.1.0 network workstations, though. With DHCP, you wouldn't need to set up the gateway address on those computers. (That might've been the problem.) Make sure your router is also set to be a DHCP server! The accompanying manual tells you how. Leave the current setup on the 10.0.0.0 network as it was before you installed the Linksys router. That should work. If not, I'm proactively assuming the next adversity might be that uplink/cross-over cable. If you need an explanation for that, please feel free to ask. -elayne
