Kevin,

First, we need to see the info from ifconfig -a. This will tell you if
the machine has even received an IP from the LinkSys. Of course there
are other such items you may be missing; /etc/resolv.conf among
others. Try ifconfig first and see if you are on the network. Then if
not, try a simple # dhclient <interface> for example dhclient fxp0.
