I cloned the MAC address so it has the same MAC as the computer's
network card. I also power cycled the modem, and finally unplugged
the linux box, set the XP box's address to match that of the Linux
box (along with pointing the gateway to the router's LAN side
address 192.168.1.1) but still no go.

I really appreciate the help guys, but I am ready to throw this
damn computer out the window at this point ... :-(

FRUSTRATED


Strange symptoms!

From what I've read, I'm more inclined to think that it is a router
problem than a computer problem. Have you tried connecting another
computer to your internal network in place of the one you're having
problems with? Have you tried connecting your computer to a friend's
network?

Have you tried downloading and installing the latest firmware upgrade
to your router from Linksys? According to the website, the latest
version is 4.9.8101 dated 5/14/2008

In the Advanced Routing router configuration section, NAT should be
enabled... Have you try resetting to Factory Defaults on the router
(located on the Advanced / Administration settings page)?

Try unplugging from the wall (removing power) from all equipment
(modem, router) and disconnect all devices from the router except the
modem (the Modem is plugged into the WAN/Internet port, I hope). Then
plug in the modem first, wait half a minute, then the router, then try
plugging in your computer (only) into the router.

HTH,
John
