I don't use DHCP either, everything has static IPs and DHCP has been
turned off on the Linksys.

I have turned on logging but it looks like the linksys is using SNMP traps
for logging, instead of syslog, and I don't have snmpd or snmptrapd
running on the loghost.

This is a very small network, consisting of the 2 Linux machines, and the
SGI.  It's on 192.168.1.0/24 with the linksys at 192.168.1.1
