This is the setup I imagined :o)

Let's put it straight:

WAN side (CalWeb), dial-up connection of ICS host:
IP Address..........209.XXX.XXX.XX
Subnet Mask.......255.255.255.255
Default Gateway..209.XXX.XXX.XX
DNS Servers.......209.210.251.10
                            209.210.251.11

LAN side of ICS host:
IP Address.........192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask......255.255.255.0 (I omit subnet mask further below)
Default Gateway..

WAN side of First router (wired Belkin F5D5130-5):
IP Address.........192.168.0.?
Default Gateway..192.168.0.1

LAN side of First router, Wired Clients:
IP Address.........192.168.??.??
Default Gateway..192.168.??.?? according to the router settings

NB: WAN and LAN IPs definitely should belong to different networks. I have
this *** somewhere deep in the trunk and don't remember the exact
settings.

WAN side of Second router (wireless Belkin F5D6130):
IP Address.........192.168.???.???
Default Gateway..192.168.???.???

LAN side of Second router, Wireless Clients:
IP Address.........192.168.0 or 2.???
Default Gateway..192.168.0.254 or 192.168.2.1 according to manual

NB: See above.

Fill in the gaps and you'll get vivid picture. Looks like manual settings
are incorrect somewhere.
Unless reconfigured, the routers provide two NAT points in addition to ICS
NAT and this is overkill. Read the manuals, reset the routers, adjust LAN
IPs on both routers, enable DHCP on the routers and clients (Network
Connection Properties/TCP/IP Properties/Obtain an IP automatically) and
you'd be okay.
