Then you probably have no valid IP address or your interface is 
configured statically with a 192.168.1.0 subnet address but not able to 
communicate with the LinkSys box. You're not going anywhere off the 
network until you can get a response form the LinkSys box, period.

Loopback. This just tells us that the IP stack on the mahcine is working 
and that the loopback interface (a virtual one) is working (as Stan said).

Broadcast address. All this means is that something, somewhere, anywhere 
- in this case your own machine - is listening and responding. Not much 
help in this situation.

That's because a broadcast address is a shout out to everyone. There is 
no such host (and only a "host" - a single machine running a web server 
- can respond to a browser request). The problem is that you're not 
connected to your router.

No, that's not a detail. What brand is it, Westell? Model? Is it a 
Wirespeed? Verizon should have supplied you with the basic docs telling 
you how to plug it in, etc. Look for a model number somewhere. Also, 
that's the bridge (slightly smaller than the ones you design, as you can 
see!) :-)

As David mentioned, this sounds as though you have both a wireless G 
unit and a Wireless B unit, and you are trying to bridge them.

As Stan pointed out, there's no such model number. The unit you describe 
here is a BEFW11S4 4-port 802.11b broadband router/access point.

Let's set this up simply:

Computer running eCS (or anything else) with Belkin NIC --- goes to
LinkSys BEFW11S4 router ---- via CAT-5 (ethernet) cable

   1. Now, forget about anything else. Besides the power connected to
      the LinkSys and the CAT-5 from the Belkin NIC, nothing else should
      be plugged into the LinkSys box. Hold down the reset button in the
      back of the LinkSys box for 15 seconds.

   2. At the eCS box, make sure that DHCP is enabled for the logical
      interface assigned to your Belkin card (probably lan0). You can
      check this with the TCP/IP Configuration applet. If it wasn't
      already configured for DHCP, make the change in the applet, close
      it, shut down and reboot. Skip to step 4.

   3. If it was already set for DHCP, open the DHCP Monitor applet. In
      the interface box, be sure that the correct interface number is
      listed (probably lan0). Select Actions | Release lease and
      acknowledge the warning dialog. Once the address has been
      released, select Actions | Request lease. You should get an
      address on the 192.168.1.0 subnet (at factory defaults, the
      LinkSys turns on DHCP services, with anaddress pool starting at
      .100, so you should see an address like 192.168.1.100 when you get
      a valid lease). Select View | Details, and in the message log,
      below, you should see something telling you that it recorded an
      offer from server 192.168.1.1, followed by your assigned address
      in parentheses.

   4. Try pinging 192.168.1.1. If successful, open your browser to that
      address, as I mentioned before. Log in per my earlier
      instructions. You should get to the setup page.

   5. Come back to the list and report your progress. The next step will
      be to get the other router set up properly with the DSL, and
      finally, to bridge the two units. We'll need to make sure the
      firmware is current enough in the BEFW11SR4 for wireless bridging
      to work, but that's a few steps down the road. Right now, I want
      to make sure we have an entrance ramp and an exit ramp. We'll
      build the "bridge" later. :-)
