Pardon my ignorance... It was my understanding that the reason you 
posted to the list was to get help with an issue where you could not 
communicate with other network devices.

Are you saying it does work? Are you saying that perhaps you have other 
hosts on your network use this same setup successfully? Are you saying 
that your Linksys "router" is not at all a gateway device (does not NAT 
and forward packets)?

# ifconfig -a
# netstat -rn
# ping ip.of.linksys
# ping ip.of.bellsouth
# arp -a

...post them.
