I had thought it might be somthing like this at first.  But the
DWL-2000AP has no firewalling features, it is just a bridge/AP.  My Zoom
DSL modem does firewall, but all of my wireless bridges are *behind*
that firewall.  And I haven't yet gotten around to putting up secondary
firewalls on my individual Linux boxes (I am rewriting my firewall script
as my machine used to be the firewall.).

I did tryin adding the main mulitpoint bridge to the DMZ of the Zoom,
just to be sure, but it didn't help.

I begin to suspect that I either
a) Don't understand how bridging works, and these two sections of
network can't be brided together like this.
b) The DWL-2000AP has real problems doing what it is advertised to do.

I see a long, painful call to D-Link tech support in my future
