You write about a Wirlesss-B router, a Wireless-G router (can the second 
be a mistyping?), an eCS router (I bet you are talking about the eCS 
system in general) and a Lindows PC. Hmm. I suppose that the Linksys 
device is the gateway to the internet (via DSL). I also assume that this 
device is able to play DHCP server. Before this can work, you obviously 
have to configure your Linksys router, this is what Roderick wanted to 
tell you.

So I would try the following

- find out to which IP address/netmask your Linksys router is configured 
by default. This may _for example_ be 192.168.0.1 and 255.255.255.0. 
This information must be provided somewhere in the manual, look for 
factory defaults or alike.

- now set the IP interface of the Nelkin nic to an IP address of the 
same IP subsegment. A good way to do this is to use the same netmask and 
an IP address being identical up to the third byte, but being one higher 
in the fourth byte. Following to the example above you would configure 
it to 192.168.0.2 and netmask 255.255.255.0. You do that with the 
following command on the commandline:

  ifconfig lan0 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0

given that lan0 is the correct interface name (if the Belkin NIC is the 
only adapter that you bound the TCP/IP protocol to, it _is_ lan0).

- now ping the address of the router - in our example: 192.168.0.1 (make 
sure the cable is still plugged ;-) )

- if that succeeds, start mozilla and enter as URL: http://192.168.0.1
Here I assume that the complete device can be configured via HTTP... In 
that configuration you need to enable the DHCP service. After that you 
can use DHCP for the (cabled) network adapters of the Lindows and the 
eCS system. Moreover, you will need to tell the Linksys device all 
paramaters for the DSL-dialin

hpe that helps, Christian
