This is the solution! Easy deal. Once the solution is revealed, of course. Thanks much to everyone who helped.

something static, inside the subnet the WRT54g provides. Then, move<br>
the cable that links it to the WRT to one of the computer ports, and<br>
leave the uplink port empty. That's probably the simplest way to<br>
solve this, and what I did for a while with another netgear router<br>
that didn't have "pass thru" mode or any option to act only as an<br>
access point without nat.<br>
<br>
CIFS should actually work even through NAT so long as the client is<br>
inside, and the server is outside. What won't work is "browsing" the<br>
network, as that relies on broadcasted advertisements that the client<br>
caches.<br>
