Either I don't understand what you are doing or you are
way-overthinking this problem.  There should not be any "WAN" links
with both ends on your premises.

The standard configuration for something like this would be to let the
router assign all your internal IP's.  You can make the IP assignments
static in most routers.    It would end up looking something like
this:

 Router:
public side: ISP assigned public IP addr.
private side: 192.168.1.1
Wired:
rodney: 192.168.1.10
chubby: 192.168.1.11
  Wireless:
stinky: 192.168.1.20
nighttime: 192.168.1.21
sara: 192.168.1.22

Most routers also have "DMZ" function that would allow one of your
internal systems to have all externally originated traffic to be
forwarded to.  This is useful to run an SSH, web or mail server.

Does this meet your needs?

 First, my apologies for the HTML.  I thought it would be the best way to illustrate this question.  This is my current network.


 Chubby and Rodney are desktop computers, each with two NICs: one connected to the HUB, the other to the DSL router.  The other computers are laptops, connected wirelessly to the router.

 The router acts as a DHCP server and has the capability to act as a hub as well as a router.  Currently, the LAN IPs are provided by hosts files.  The LAN is samba/smbfs.

 The following diagram illustrates what I want to do.


 I want to eliminate the redundant hub and make the LAN and WAN connections via the DSL router.  It appears that it may "just work" for the laptops, but I am having trouble re-configuring the desktops so that LAN traffic is going through the same NIC as the WAN/Internet, and using the DHCP address assigned by the router.  I've asked help on this before, but have essentially been told that it should just work -- it doesn't.

 I even tried Actiontec's (the router OEM) paid support, and they said they don't provide support for the issue while acknowledging that their equipment supports it.

 Any and all help or direction will be appreciated.
