That's what I was thinking. But when I do that, everything works fine for
about 30 seconds and then all heck breaks loose on the network. Constant
activity everywhere including on the WAN side. My guess is something is
triggering an ARP storm but why I don't know and it could be something else.
Here, as best I can do in ASCII, it how I'm hooking it up.

DHCP server enabled only on Router 1. All except the Mail Server has
192.168.1.1 as the default gateway; the Mail Server has .9.
Router 1 is a Linksys BEFW11S4 wireless DSL (NAT) router; Router 2 is a
Linksys BEFSR41 wired DSL router.
I know this is far afield from SIMS but thanks for any suggestions.
