Ira, have you set up your network card to DHCP if it wasn't already?  Have
you checked the Linksys setup screen to make sure DHCP is enabled?  If you
don't want to use the internal DHCP server in the Linksys that is fine, but
you must assign static IP's to your network card(s).  They must be in the
192.168.1.xxx range as far as I know.

I run the Linksys BEFSR41 with Zonealarm and do not have a problem.  Also,
my Linksys worked right out of the box.  I'm not rubbing it in, mind you,
just saying that it must be something simple.
