Yes, the router runs as a firewall, that is why I tried to connect without
using the router. I have eth0 set at 'Automatic address setup DHCP'. I get
the message 'failed' for eth0 when I boot. ifconfig is as follows:

link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:ca:4d:s3:d8
inet6 addr: fe80:240:caff:fe4d:a3d8/64 Scope: link
UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

RX bytes:0 (0.0b) TX bytes:0 (0.0b)

Thanks,
Jeff
