My post stands. The Zonet isn't being used as a modem, so treat it like a DHCP Client of the Speedstream 4300, just like your client is in Network #2.

I'd do it with the modem being .1, the Zonet being .2, and the clients from .3 onwards, all in the same subnet so you don't have to to worry about network masks.

Or, if the Speedstream can handle multiple clients by itself, I'd replace the router with a network switch. Save all the trouble of configuring another router.

If this is what you are referring to as previous suggestion, .1,.2,.3 are to cryptic for me to understand.

Never got a manual for the 4300 I use online resources.

".1", ".2" and ".3" were the IP addresses in the subnet you are using. But since your router is ".254", there's no need to change everything, so forget about that. So this is what I was talking about:

Though I'd go with Static IP, with the following:
  • Speedstream with DHCP enabled. The default setting of the Speedstream apparently gives out IPs from 192.168.254.1 to 192.168.254.253. So you're going to change that from 192.168.254.1 to 192.168.254.252 to make room for one Static IP we're using for the Zonet. (

    )
  • Zonet with DHCP disabled, with Static IP at 192.168.254.253
  • Clients set to use DHCP ("Obtain IP addresses dynamically"), or with Static IP in the 192.168.254.x range, where X is 1-252. Gateway is the Speedstream, 192.168.254.254.

It says "BRG" ("bridged") in that screen. However, looking at another Speedstream manual I found on-line, there seems to be a "bridged" setting that actually does routing. The screen I'm talking about will probably allow you to select options such as PPPoE, PPPoA, and RFC 2684. It should be a screen when you configure that interface that is showing on your screen.

But regardless, I would like the information I asked before about your gateway and IP address when connected from Network #2.

Network 2 (Speedstream >> single client)

'ipconfig /all' results = client IP address @ 192.168.254.1, Gateway address @ 192.168.254.254

Then it isn't bridged. Proceed with my suggestion. Use the Zonet with Static IP, both LAN and WAN at 192.168.254.253. Disable its DHCP. Optionally try setting it as DHCP Client or, if the option exists, DHCP Relay.

For a test, in case it still doesn't work, manually set the IP address of one the systems in Network 1 as 192.168.254.32 (the 32 here is a random number to avoid conflicts) and the gateway as 192.168.254.254. That should bypass the Zonet.

I will try that when my personal priorities allow me to and then post an update.

Speedstream set for DHCP pool to end at .252 so Zonet can use .253. Zonet DHCP data not entered; no selection available for relay function.

Presently I have 2 clients with static IP assignments that can access the Zonet. I used the IP's from that Zonet's DHCP pool. Confirmed clients data with local 'ipconfig' execution.

Can't access Speedstream from a client and still unable to get Zonet to access Speedstream, so no Net to clients.

What's the IP address of the Zonet and its clients, as well as the gateway configuration? (Edit to clarify: the IP addresses of all devices must be in the 192.168.254 subnet and their gateway must all be 192.168.254.254)

OP:

 
ISP windstream modem, addressed as 192.168.254.254
Zonet 4-port router, addressed as 192.168.10.1
Clients addressed from pool of 192.168.10.2-253

Static assignments were .99 and .101

All clients must be assigned addresses in the 192.168.254.x range. If you assign at 192.168.10, I think the Zonet will have to route to the Speedstream. Avoid that. Just use all the IP addresses in the same subnet, since you don't have 250+ clients.

Client IP set to 192.168.254.240

W7 Network Wiz switch identity to 'Unidentified Network' (from Home Net. w/Zonet address assignment), then ultimately returns a modem error of 651.

While this error is easy enough to find information about it, I haven't found anything helpful to my config, as of yet.

Modem error? Can you post a screenshot?

No screenshot on hand, at the moment.

Here's the hardware failure:

I have downloaded a different rrasppoe.sys file but W 7 choked on it because it couldn't authenticate the file's certificate. That was on the 64-bit client, previously. This post is on the 32-bit client.

I mentioned on a post before that you didn't tell us if you had a PPP connection set up. Given this error, that seems to be the case. This setting is not needed because the Speedstream can do the PPP authentication by itself, which is most often the case.

If it's not doing it, it would, like I mentioned, explain why the Zonet was working on a PPPoE setting.

Do you have a user/password set up on Windows to authenticate the connection? If yes, then you have a PPP setting. Either you need to port that setting to the Zonet or change your Speedstream setting away from RFC2684 and to PPPoE with the correct user/password there. However, if you don't do the latter right you will end up without an internet connection.
