Sorry to reply to myself, but I forgot to mention that pinging the
router (192.168.0.1) from the desktop returns:
>>From 192.168.1.2 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
192.168.1.2 is the router's address on the WAN. If the desktop can't
communicate with the router, how would it know the router's WAN
address?
