OK here's my problem:
My work provides a wide-area network (the WAN) that configures static IP addresses. We get our internet piped in through a T1 that goes through a Cisco 2415 switch that distributes network access to our computers throughout my building. Each of these computers also has a static IP address; in the room where I'm at now, computers are 192.168.10.1-19.
I disconnected the computer with 192.168.10.19 and want to set up a wireless Linksys router to bridge the WAN onto wireless. To do so, I've set up the wireless router with all of the static IP configuration necessary -- the IP address, subnet mask (255.255.255.0), default gateway (192.168.10.254), DNS and WINS servers.
Each of the other computers (192.168.10.1-18) do this:
C:\Documents and Settings\student10.MINNOW>ping 192.168.10.254
Pinging 192.168.10.254 with 32 bytes of data:

Ping statistics for 192.168.10.254:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 1ms, Maximum = 2ms, Average = 1ms
You'll notice that I'm pinging the default gateway address, which should be the first thing any jumps to the WAN go through. When I try to do this with the Linksys router though, I get packets dropped (0% returned out of 5). I've verified that the router is set up identically to the computer that it replaced.
Any ideas?
Yes, I have tried multiple cables and ports.
