My Linksys BEFW11P1 Wireless Router + Printserver is a piece of crap and worthless as a wireless (or wired) broadband router b/c it crashes frequently and needs reseting constantly. So I've disabled the NAT/routing features and am just trying to use it as a printserver only (and if I'm lucky maybe the wireless network could be used too). I've got a Seimens Speedstream 2 port router that I've gone back to using as my broadband router.

I've got the Linksys cross-over connected via the Uplink port to the Uplink port on a 4+1 hub. The Hub is connected to 1 PC and the Speedstream router. The PCs connect to the internet fine but I can't get to the Remote Admin of the Linksys at 192.168.1.1. The Hub shows good connection on the Uplink to the Linksys.

Any ideas on getting this hackjob network to work?

Thanks,
Jay
