Sorry to reply to myself, but I forgot to mention that pinging the |
| 17 |
router (192.168.0.1) from the desktop returns: |

|
| 19 |
>From 192.168.1.2 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
192.168.1.2 is the router's address on the WAN. If the desktop can't |
| 22 |
communicate with the router, how would it know the router's WAN |
| 23 |
address? |
