Ding!  That was it.

Somehow I didn't think of that, because I figured the router would deal
with the separate networks correctly.

So now I have the internal side of the WRT54G as 192.168.2, and it all
works.  When I've destressed a little, I might change the internal on
the server to 192.168.0 and internal on the WRT54G as 192.168.1, simply
because I've been using 192.168.1 for eons.  But at least now I know it
should work.

Since on my old computer, I just used a WAP, I didn't have this issue,
This is why it's importaint for Software Engineers to not pretend

Thank you.
