I'm able to surf the web (and sync and network) with all three set to 'work.' I know I had to add the DNS servers supplied by my ISP to the adapter settings (Settings, Connections (tab), Network Adapters. Select your WiFi card and tap on Properties and fill them in on the Name Servers tab) in order to connect to web pages. Do you know if you can currently connect with your browser using an IP number? I used to be able to set the DNS with the card set for DHCP but the last time I installed the Intersil drivers, it would not 'stick' so I had to set the WiFi to a static IP.

If you don't have DNS's from your service, I believe other people got their web connection to work with their router's IP set as the DNS. Since you have two routers set up, I wonder if you should use the IP for the one closest to your broadband?

That's all I can think of.
