Based on off-list correspondence with G. T. Smith, I have already 
removed the wire link from the broadband router to the 10.3 box. It 
wasn't worth the trouble it was causing and I don't have a lot of time 
to spend on it. My overriding concern is to make the 10.3 box reachable 
from the Internet.

At some point, I may try to reestablish the DHCP link from the NAT side 
of the wireless router once I learn more about what's required to make 
such a topology function properly.

Not any longer. Yesterday I removed the cable from the wireless router 
to the 10.3 box and disabled that interface.

Yes, I do. I did fail to mention that the wireless router is applying 
NAT and the DHCP-supplied IP addresses are non-routeable. The same page 
allows the establishment of up to twenty static routes, but I have none 
defined.

The main page of the configuration interface says "Firmware Version 
1.00.6". On the Advanced Routing page, there are two modes Gateway and 
Router. It's set on Router

I did that yesterday. It's working, but now I cannot access the NAT side 
of the wireless router from the 10.3 box, which was why I added the 
cable from that box to the wireless router.


Thanks for the help, folks.
