I have a number of sites connected thru CISCO routers with addresses
192.168.100.1 through 192.168.100.5. On the lan side these routers have
addresses 10.16.1.200 through 10.16.5.200. These are the gateway IPs entered
into the Windows TCP properties of each PC. Each router is attached to
10/100 autohub. Each PC has static IP, and no DNS. This is not set up as a
domain, and there is no DHCP. Everything gets a static IP, and I have
control over those. Critical business apps run happily with this network.

Enter DSL through Westell Model 2200. This seems to work properly.

Linksys BEFW11S4 also sent. After resetting the router (someone attempted to
set this up and brought down networking on a few PCs along the way), I
assigned it 10.16.5.222, turned off DHCP, enabled PPoE, entered username and
password. Plugged it into the hub, and the dsl modem. The router status page
shows that the linksys has acquired DNS, IP and mask successfully.

How do I get a Windows 2000 client at the same site to connect to the
internet through the Linksys? I also have to deal with Win 98 and XP.

If there is a better way, I'm all ears.

use the LAN IP of the Linksys as the PC's Default Gateway. That way the
PC's will send everything to the Linksys and let it figure out the DNS and
routing. You also have to set up the PC's IP address and mask assigned to
use what the Linksys is looking for on the LAN side.

If defaulted I believe 192.168.1.1 would have been used as the Default
Gateway of the PC's but in your case they would need to be changed to what
you configured your LAN to use.

Appreciate this. I found a few linksys docs that relate to this. Linksys
docs also say to use the router private IP as DNS.

I'll have a chance to work through this in a day or so.
