    Ignore the Linksys tech's poor choice of words. You need to program Linux as
    much as Windows to get this setup. You don't have to setup the USB access as
    far as I can tell to administer the WCG200. Linksys provides a web interface
    that can be used by almost every web browser to set it up. Since you have a
    Windows machine you can use it to setup the USB connection if you want.

    Yes

    Yes. Setup Linux networking to use DHCP. Setup the Linksys to serve DHCP.

    Yes.

    Depends on the opinion of who is answering. There are lots of ways to do this
    type of setup. Your proposed method is usually one of the easiest. Use the
    most paranoid settings you can for the Linksys and make sure you keep each
    system updated for security issues and you'll avoid lots (but not all, ever)
    of Internet nasties. Security is a process and is never perfect and never
    complete.
