Probably.  I must admit to very newbie-hood when it comes to networking, 
apologies if I mis-state things when using terms I only half-understand.  I 
said DHCP because that's how my systems get their address when they boot.

No, it isn't.  My "outside" address (which only the router knows) *is* DHCP 
from my ISP's server.

Would this be on my base RH system?  Or do you mean somehow adding addresses 
to the router itself?  How does one go about doing *that*?

Of course.  Addresses and names munged to protect my privacy.

Linksys BEFW11S4 wireless access point with built-in router with four wired 
ports.  I run the house laptops and one other desktop over the net through 
it.  My base system is wired directly to the router (cat5).

WAN side is connected to a cable modem.

It's as if "ftp" names resolve OK, but http does not.  Can't figure this one 
out myself, that's why I'm asking for help here.

Any further assistance you can provide is appreciated.
