I redo the diagram to show the gw info.
Router1: UTSStarCom WA3002G4
Wireless Router with 4 ethernet ports
NAT is enabled (Just a tickbox)
PC1, PC2 : gentoo, 2.6.18.3 kernel
Router2: LinkSys WRT54GL (default firmware)
used as access point

Because this box is temporary, it will be replaced with a non-wireless
one by the ISP.

This router is LinkSys WRT54GL with default firmware and I am using
it really as an access point. There is no option to disable the WAN
connection, so I left it as 'DHCP'.

I agree this would have simplified the network, but the problem is, I cannot
run a cable due to walls in between. The default firmware on LinkSys does
not provide a client option. (Yes, I am aware of OpenWrt/DD-WRT etc )
I hope using the client option does not prevent the access point function.

Already done.

As router is just a WAP, the gw is set to 192.168.2.43.

I just ticked the 'Enable NAT' tickbox in the router configuration.

Yes, this is done.

Ping is ok.

Ping is ok.

Do you think an ISP would allow only one LAN segment (like 192.168.1.x)
and not allow 192.168.2.x at the same time ? Is there any incentive
for them ?
One thing, I cannot understand is the difference in traceroute
results. What does this say in plain english ? :-)
At PC2
# traceroute 218.248.240.46 (ISP's DNS server)
traceroute to 218.248.240.46 (218.248.240.46), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
