OK. I disabled the PCMCIA Linksys card. The laptop has an Intel mini-PCI card in it, and that is now enabled. I had been using a wired PCMCIA NIC to get it do do anything, and though it was disabled, it still was retaining an IP adress. That was a conflict. I think I've gotten close. I'm on with the Intel NIC, but I think I'm still not having luck with the Linksys PCMCIA NIC. Gotta test that, and then go from there. If nothing else, I've got something...I am posting wirelessly right now. Thanks for the help thus far.
And, yes, the cable modem IS plugged in to the WAN port of the BFSR81.
