You're using a router - you aren't plugging into your cable modem directly.
Are you using ISA?

When this happens - can you ping the LAN IP of the Linksys box? Got the
latest firmware on the router?
You shouldn't need to rerun the ICW - this likely has nothing to do with
your LAN config at all.
Troubleshoot by trying to ping the Linksys LAN IP - if that doesn't work,
shut down the linksys and restart it - ping it, test for Internet access. If
that doesn't work, shut down the cable modem & linksys, bring the cable
modem up first, wait til it boots up totally (no flashing test lights), then
bring up the linksys and try again.
