two NICs in it?

on them?
Two NICS: eth0 is WAN 209.249.226.25 eth1 is LAN
192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0

Question: If my laptop is getting a 192.168.2.1-255 subnet address
via DHCP from the Linux machine, and the Linux Lan is set to
192.168.2.0/255.255.255.000, how is it that the AP which,
presumably is assigned to a different subnet able to pass traffic?
This is what I don't understand.

192.168.0.50.

Pardon this mangled reply. I got tangled beween a couple of
computers and lost your original post.
