Networking issue

Hi all,
This has been bugging me for about 2 weeks now and I have traversed the forums here and at DD-WRT to try and figure this out, but I am not having any luck or explanation. Here's the scoop:

I have ATT Uverse, which means I have their router hooked up with my HTPC attached and working. Wireless is "g only" set on channel 4 because that one is in the clear in my neighborhood. WPA is used as security.

2nd up I have an ASUS RT-N12 with the latest build of DD-WRT included setup as a wireless bridge, and before you groan too much, yes, I have it working.

So, there are two SSIDs going, the one from the Uverse router/gateway and the other from the virtual interface on the ASUS router running DD-WRT.

The wireless always works from the Uverse router. I can disconnect, reconnect to my hearts content and it thankfully works very well. I can also see the ASUS router attached under devices, which tells me it is connected. On the flip side the ASUS router tells me that it is connected. When I try connecting to the virtual interface I can get the wireless to work in Ubuntu, but I cannot get internet with Windows 7-64-bit. I can see every other device on the network, ping names and ip, but I cannot get out. This happens with two different computers with different hardware.

Things I have tried:
1) Drivers are up to date
2) killed ipv6
3) set devices as static

Keep in mind the DD-WRT router works beautifully in Linux. Any thoughts?
 
Sounds like a dns problem ...try setting you dns on the Nice of whatever you are tryingto connect with to 4.2.2.1 or some other universal dns address.
