Lewis, I did give the IPs and netmasks at the top of the post. 192.168.0.4 is a
Sparc which also has nics on both networks. The access point is on the 192
network so normally any traffic from that net that wants to go elsewhere would
go through the Sparc.
However, in the case I mention the *only* lights on the 81 net switch that are
blinking are the desktop and the laptop. If it were going via the Sparc I would
see three blinking.
