Hello....Not sure where to post this question. Please move it as necessary. Thanks.
We have a base network (192.168.1. ) which is connected to the Internet and has several wired PC's and one server (192.168.1.9). It also has a wireless modem/router attached on address 192.168.1.13 (static). That wireless modem/router has its own network (192.168.2. ) which serves our wireless devices and is a subnet off of the base network. Normal activites from the wireless network are working fine including access to PC's, shares and other resources on the base network. Normal activities on the base network are also working fine. Access from the base network to devices on the wireless subnet is restricted by the wireless modem/router, as would be expected.
Client PC's (base network) are running Windows 7 and laptop clients (wireless network) are running Windows 7 or Vista.
We have one application which uses IE to display output from an internal webcam via a Java applet. The webcam is controlled by the Windows 2000 server (192.168.1.9). The following code works perfectly for clients on the wireless subnet (192.168.2. ), but fails (red x in image area) for clients on the base network (192.168.1. ).

<param name="cabbase" value="JavaCamPush.cab">
<param name="URL" value="http://192.168.1.9:8888">

I can move one of the laptops from the wireless subnet to the wired base network. The app works when it is on the wireless subnet and fails when wired to the base network.
I'm stumped. Thanks for any ideas or solutions....RDK
