I just picked up a Linksys Wireless-G Router with built-in switch. I've got it hooked into the cable modem, and my PC's are wired through Cat5 (I intend to use the wireless for a laptop later)

As soon as I switched from my Waverider/Switch setup to the CM/Router setup, Office Outlook was no longer able to connect to my pop3 server. It is set up to check 3 email address at once and send them all to appropriate folders. I finally got it to check one of them, the other two failed, after fiddling with the port forwarding and triggering settings, but again now, I can't get it to work.

I've set a static IP in my main machine here, and the other machine is currently on the routers DHCP for the time being. (they're all in the 192.168.1.x range) Otherwise, I seem to be getting out to the internet fine, I haven't found anything else broken yet.

Anyone know what I've got set wrong?

You shouldn't have to forward any ports for checking email. I've got the Linksys Wireless G with Speedboost and dont' have any problems. Maybe you should reset the router and have it get the info from your ISP. Then put your PC's on DHCP again.

Figured it out, sortuf... Seems that my cable modem was causing the problem, This time, instead of plugging my PC back into the switch to the wireless link, I hooked the router into the wireless link. Release/renew and whala. Everything seems to be working.
