Bridging to Microwave link

    Hi,

    I've got a microwave link coming into the garage, seperated by about 20m from the house. I have just got a link made between a Netgear Prosafe G AP and a WNDR3700 in the house. I want the gigabit LAN in the house rather than the garage. This is working fine as I've got both bridging/repeating. I was hoping to use the old Linksys WRT160N as something of firewall between the microwave link and the LAN...connecting the AP onto a LAN port.
    I was able to ping the Linksys through the AP from the house LAN, but try as I may I couldn't get through to the microwave link on the far side, no matter what settings I was putting on the Linksys. I've got 3 permanent IP's on the devices, same subnet, and then DHCP set up on the WAN side of the Linksys so it should be grabbing all necessary ISP info. Had NAT on and off, and no difference. Besides thinking the Linksys unit is a pile of pooh (I've been convinced of that for some time hence the change to WNDR3700) I'm running out of idea's.
    Unfortunately the Linksys is also Version 2 and can't be DD-WRT'd...although having never used that I'm not sure if it would help.

    Any idea's? What am I doing wrong?

    Craig
