   Hello, I'm glad to read this since we are just about   
   to purchase and do exactly what you have done.   
   Same Netgear Router and Software. I'm not sure   
   if I can help but will say this.   
      Are you still using DHCP on you gateway LAN   
   (the one your Router is on) and you client end desktop?   
   I know that Netgear says that you can use DHCP but   
   it also states that "you may want to set all of you nodes   
   to static IP's".  But even then most folks I know of all   
   have DHCP isp issued ip address' unless they pay more   
   for a static ip address.   
       Also curious as to any surprises you had setting it up   
   so far? Did it go as directions other than the ping issue?   
   Admittedly I want to know as much for myself as to help   
   you out.
