Ok, that's almost identical to my network setup, except I'm not running
as high as 106. Your route output was identical to mine.
Now... what about ifconfig eth0?

Well, do you have a DHCP server? Does the linksys router provide DHCP
for you? You need a DHCP server to have dynamic IPs...
I don't see much reason in running DHCP on a small network. Although, I
should talk, I just spent the last two days trying to get AMaViS
working... I'm the only one that uses the mail server and not only am I
schooled about viruses, but I am running Linux and Linux alone. :-)
I did win the battle with AMaViS, BTW. On to Samba/CUPS next....
