    Sorry i missed that you are using an unbuntu server, forget the dhcp and box. What you need to do is go to your router setup page and assign the unbuntu pc a static ip address.

    this is for your router
    Configuring Static Routes


    Static Routes provide additional routing information to your router. Under normal circumstances, the router has adequate routing information after it has been configured for Internet access, and you do not need to configure additional static routes. You must configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets located on your network.


    From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click on Static Routes to view the Static Route menu, shown below.

    Figure 6-9. Static Route Summary Table


    To add or edit a Static Route:
    1. Click the Add button to open the Add/Edit Menu, shown below.



    Figure 6-10. Static Route Entry and Edit Menu
    2. Type a route name for this static route in the Route Name box under the table.
    (This is for identification purposes only.)
    3. Select Private if you want to limit access to the LAN only. The static route will not be reported in RIP.
    4. Select Active to make this route effective.
    5. Type the Destination IP Address of the final destination.
    6. Type the IP Subnet Mask for this destination.
    If the destination is a single host, type 255.255.255.255.
    7. Type the Gateway IP Address, which must be a router on the same LAN segment as the router.
    8. Type a number between 1 and 15 as the Metric value.
    This represents the number of routers between your network and the destination. Usually, a setting of 2 or 3 works, but if this is a direct connection, set it to 1.
    9. Click Apply to have the static route entered into the table.


    As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:


    o Your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.
    o You have an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where you are employed. This router's address on your LAN is 192.168.1.100.
    o Your company's network is 134.177.0.0.


    When you first configured your router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route was created with your ISP as the gateway, and a second static route was created to your local network for all 192.168.1.x addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your router will forward your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the request will likely be denied by the company's firewall.


    In this case you must define a static route, telling your router that 134.177.0.0 should be accessed through the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100. The static route would look like Figure 6-10.


    In this example:


    * The Destination IP Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses.
    * The Gateway IP Address fields specifies that all traffic for these addresses should be forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100.
    * A Metric value of 1 will work since the ISDN router is on the LAN.
    * Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated

    I would try upgrading the routers firmware is possible, if not do a factory reset and set it up again from scratch. Unless somebody here has experienced simillar probs with this model i think your best chance of working this out is the netgear forums.
