I apologize because this doesn't answer your question but proposes an alternative arrangment that, I believe, would be easier to configure. I don't know the physical arrangement of your devices (in your home or office), but my arrangement (and most arrangements I've seen) are a little different and maybe you want to try an arrangment more like this: Put your router immediately after the AT&T modem, then (assuming there are multiple ethernet ports on the router), put your Linux box on one eth port and the Windows box on another. (That would require 3 ports on the router.) If you don't have 3 ports on the router, consider getting a switch to place after the router, and put the Linux and Windows boxes on 2 separate outputs from the switch. Either of these is a much more standard arrangement, and I have very little trouble with any of this. (The troubles I have had are not relevant to the arrangement--things like Earthlink / Verizon outages and dealing with their customer non-support, an anomaly in how a Westell modem worked (now using a ZyXel), and difficulties in understanding and configuring QOS (primarily for VOIP).)
