What I have found out, is that the LinkSys router apparently acts as an
Ethernet hub as well. It is possible to access the PCs with DAVE, as well as
for all of the PCs to access the Internet at the same time via the router
and the cable modem. Apparently, if my Mac IP is 192.168.128.3 and my PC is
192.168.128.4, and my router is 192.168.128.1, any traffic on 192.168.128.x
doesn't get past the router. Only traffic destined for networks outside the
LAN is forwarded to the cable modem. Quite an interesting setup.

Without an Internet router, it is possible to achieve a similar result using
a product like IPNetRouter from Sustainable Softworks

Thanks to all that helped sort this issue out.

Seasons best,

Brian
