On the plus side,the Linksys tech support was alway immediately reachable and worked tirelessly in four long phone sessions to find and fix the problem. On the negative side I had to do all this on my grandson's laptop running Windows XP Pro. I am sure I had already tried everything the tech support people suggested. One of those actions must have been correct but required a reboot although there was no message to this effect.
While it is frustrating not to know what fixed the problem it may never come up again as this was a one time setup which should remain in effect until setup is run again.
Finally, I really suspect that there has been a security change which prevented me from doing this running Linux. Specifically, reaching the setup page requires a DHCP setup. Our LAN normally uses fixed IP addresses. When I changed one system to DHCP a link came up immediately but still when the IP address of the setup page was entered in Mozilla there was an immediate message that the connection was refused.
