What I meant was the cable coming from eth1, where eth0 has the direct connection from the cable modem. In other words, when I plug from eth1 to the wireless router, that's when the scenario (I described below) occurs: I can hit the linux box, but can't get beyond. If I plug from eth1 directly to laptop (thereby rendering the wireless router useless), I get beyond just the linux box and can surf the web.
