its easier to just post the password on the bathroom wall like we do...

I am going to attempt CCNA by the end of 2015.

I agree, the 2900 series is a knotch above the 3500 series - lots of limitations lifted, and you can run IOS 15.0, not 12.5

well you know that the device on the 192.168.0.0 network is routing something.....

wan side is going to be 192.168.1.xxx, but the connection side will connect you using 192.168.0.xxx

and since you can surf, once connected , would be willing to bet that possibly ICMP commands are turned off, or not allowed/forwarded.

I have a couple of questions for you:  a) the port on the switch where the public wifi access WAP is cross connected - does it show linked ?

b) Does the public access point actually work ?  have you hooked up to it and tried to surf ?

CCNA by end of year.

the DNS name resolution request goes directly to the DNS server specified, you can use more than one and they will be tried one at a time FIFO.  Without a valid DNS server, you cant surf unless you happen to be that one person that can memorize thousands of ip addresses...

Beer
