IPod with Linksys WRT54G router - using NAT?
Closed
Hello,
I have a few local PCs and a Linksys WRT54G WiFi router all connected to a common switch, then outward to a network and Internet. A few PCs are fixed IP, a few DHCP. I can administer the Linksys through a Wifi connection, or through a direct plug-in to one of its managed ports.
Now, I have a new iPod, and it connects fine to the Linksys and Internet.
But, it cannot seem to see any of the local PCs on the same switch and local network, and vice-versa.
I'd like them to all look like they are just as if hardwired, and be able to interact, even though the iPod is WiFi only. I'd guess that the Linksys is somehow filtering /firewall blocking traffic? Or NAT masking addresses?

Hi there,
Apple uses Unix based operating system.That's the reason it is not showing it in the lan.

Hello there,
There is big difference in file system of windows and unix based operating system.
And now about your ipod, it would be only accessible on Mac system in lan.

I think it is because the Linksys does NAT, and forms its own sub-network.
