I'm stumped with a basic problem! Failure to comunicate!
I started with the build of openwrt posted on mightohm and followed the steps
to get WiFi up on and running on a WL-520gU. That seems all good.
I have basic network connectivity using either WiFi or the WAN xface.
The problem: I can ping hosts by name on the Internet so I know I have DNS resolution. However, all other transfers are timing out.
I'm using the exact example config files posted by Jeff here:

I've tried dropping the iptables rules and tinkering around with the firewall setup with no success. At this point, I've just finished flashing puppycrack's 8.09 + mpd/mpc + NFS, and the issue persists. I don't think it's my openwrt config or Asus hardware at this point, but this thing simply can't get anything more than pings out and back from the Net.
I am able to ssh into another linux box on my local network, so it might be my Netgear Firewall doing this...but why?
Can anyone think of something I missed?
