Linkstation connected over LAN

Woohoo!  So the issue is your iMac is not allowing 2 routes through different NICs, that's good news believe it or not. 

 

Going to find an answer for you tonight, stay tuned....

Ok a few things to try:

I will also note, looks like the folks at princeton have found that trying to 'make the linkstation available to the outside world' (i.e. network bridging + NATing) can cause problems at schools... (kind of a bummer, so you can't use this option apparently...)

Finally, it's a bit more detailed, but it's a very applicable explanation...

Hope this helps.  1 thing I've heard is some iMACs will actually disable an 'alternate' NIC connection so I'm hoping this isn't the situation in your case and that it's just a routing issue (as shown above).

 

Keep us posted.
