Missing something...
Well, I must've been both awake and asleep earlier this morning. The LinkSys docs made little sense, but I tried to follow them anyway. My Windows box ended up rebooting so often due to changes in network configuration that it had a hypnotic, relaxing effect on me, and I decided to go to sleep again. And did.
The router has a default internal IP address of 192.168.1.1, which is easily reachable from one of my Windows 2000 boxes. The router appears also to be equipped with a rudimentary DHCP capability, which threw me for a while because the instructions assume that any computers on the internal network are going to have their IP addresses assigned dynamically, and thus the instructions tell you to set up TCP/IP functionality for DHCP on all internal machines.
I assume I can assign each machine its own internal IP address and simply disable the DHCP capability in the router, but that remains to be seen.
I would also venture go assume that the router also cares not a hang as to what operating system powers the entity on the other end of the Ethernet cable, so I may be able to program the thing from my Linux box.

I've been typing this from the store. Galina, it turned out, also could not sleep last night, due to heartburn. I left her asleep this morning when I left for the store. Drew came by soon after to pick up his last paycheck of the year. He and Shannon (and Huntur) are taking off imminently.
Customers are coming. Gotta go.
Cheers...

as for DHCP, ...well, mine is but I set the number on the computer and let the router assign it...go figure. but, please do check your router address. I find that to be intriguing.
