Harold,

Correct me if I'm wrong.

You're running dialup internet service from Breakfast, sharing the internet
service by running ICS. Breakfast and Study are connected thru the Linksys;
Breakfast thru a LAN (wired) port, Study wirelessly.

IOW, you're using the Linksys as a hub to connect the two computers. ICS is a
software NAT router. ICS includes its own DHCP server, so you must disable the
DHCP server on the Linksys. ICS assigns the LAN port on Breakfast to
192.168.0.1; if the Linksys normally uses this address for its LAN port, this
must be changed. You can't have both Breakfast and Linksys using the same ip
address.

You also should enable the DHCP client on Study, so it can get the proper
settings from the ICS DHCP server.

Cheers,
Chuck
Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.
