Is the dnsmasq server on the Asus, or elsewhere?
No. The dnsmasq is on a separate server (on 192.168.10.10). That dnsmasq server will issue (fixed) DHCP addresses to any of my wireless devices mapped in /etc/ethers. Other machines have fixed IP addresses.
DHCPing on the lan connection?
See above.
So you DHCP through the NAT? Interesting.
ICMP errors to where? Any problems with traffic between 2 wired hosts? Between a wired host and a wireless host? Between a wired host and a host in the DMZ? Between the wired host and the outside world? Or all of the above?
All of the above. Errors to anywhere. It is really weird. I can pick any port for the first connection and any (remaining) port for the second connection and that second connection consistently fails /unless/ I add another switch in the way.
If you are finding that 2 hosts connected to the wired switch on the ASUS are seeing errors talking to each other I'd be suspecting an electrical fault with the ASUS. There shouldn't be any software involvement there once the switch chip is configured to bridge the various ports appropriately.
(I've had a wl500g myself in the past, running vanilla OpenWRT though not bridging the wired/wireless networks and never saw a similar problem.)
