| it wont work, unless the connection u want to make is strictly wireless. which means that your linksys must be capable of functioning as an access point. put simply, it must have the feature of shutting down its "router capabilities" such as DHCPing, NAT, etc. it wont work because using an ethernet connection to the linksys means you are attempting to get a routed signal, which has to be shut off in the first place to work as an AP.
