Perhaps in my previous mail I had got the adsl modem/router and linysys
wireless router mixed up.

Perhaps a more detailed explanation of how everything is wired (or not)
up would be useful....

Although the other thing which springs to mind, is that you are using a
192.168.0.x network with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 which means that
192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1 are on different networks.

To have your machine talk to 192.168.1.1 can be accomplished in a number
of ways. The simplest probably is to give your machines eth0 another IP
address say 192.168.1.10, this can be accomplished by simple doing a 
	
	ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.1.10 up

this should let you talk to the linksys on 192.168.1.1


Any more problems and it's probably best to go over interactively on
irc.
