another silly question: static IP worked with the AT, but not the westell. did you reboot the pap2t, or did you just unplug the AT and plug in the westell? i ask because if the latter, the pap2t was most likely still using the old MAC address for the AT in its ARP table, whereas changing to dhcp would have likely flushed all of that.
