>> One thing I noticed when I set it to DHCP is that it's getting the wrong subnet - 255.255.0.0 instead of 255.255.255.0 - and a 169 IP address (instead of 192). Which explains things, although I don't know WHY it's happening or how to fix it.<<
If you tried a valid static IP (IP in correct subnet, with the Linksys' IP as Default Gateway, and the ISP's DNS servers listed) the problem is most likely a hardware failure. IF the problem is DHCP, it is possible on the Linksys to limit the number of available IPs and have all leases used up in the router's tables, even if the other computers are not currently connected (especially if you have long lease times defined.) Put one working machine on, collect all configuration details, take it offline and manually set those numbers into the 8500 to see if it works. If it does, http:// to the Linksys IP and check its DHCP configuration page, or just set up static IPs for everyone and hope the ISP DNS servers don't change.
