Mandrake box has two nics, eth0 and eth1. Eth0 is receiving feed from cable modem. Eth1 is what I plug into receiving device (laptop or wireless router). If feed from eth1 goes straight into the laptop, the laptop can connect to the internet and everything works great. If the wireless router gets the feed from eth1, and then the laptop connects to the wireless router, I can only get the Mandrake box--nothing else.
