I am no longer able to ping 192.168.1.1, until something resolves itself and it comes back.
I have no idea how to debug this. If I plug the wire going to the Satellite directly into one of the computers, I do not have this issue.
Are you running some sort of "Ping Plotter" program, or have a Command window open with a ping command running constantly?

This does not occur when I take the satellite out of chain and connect directly to over if the computers.
