Hi rbarlow,

The Shrew log suggests that there is no response coming back to Shrew
from the router at all.  

Are you able to get log output from the Linksys?  If you can get logs
from the Linksys, we might be able to see if the Shrew connections are
making it to the router, and if they are, why the router is not
responding.
