Subnet mask?

I think the reason it worked on the PC but not on the Mac was that you were using 255.255.0.0 for the PC and 255.255.255.0 for the Mac. This would restrict the Mac so 192.168.1.x IPs.

I ran into _exactly_ the same situation when I setup my WET11. Baffled me for about an hour until I re-IP-ed the WET11 to be 192.168.0.something. Glad I'm not the only bozo out there ;-)

No, that was not the problem. I first set the WET11 to 192.168.0.225, and my entire network was also on 192.168.0.x Nothing worked.

The PC is ALSO set to 255.255.255.0

I've had reports from other people with this problem, it's not a simple goof on my part as far as I can tell. Also, remember that I was on the phone with Linksys for over an hour. If it was something that simple surely someone would have caught it.
