Thanks Erek.

I broke down and bought another router, a D-Link DL-604.  This morning, 
I added it into the network so that I had the following:

Internet-->DL-604-->Linksys BEFW11S4-->LAN.

I got the routing tables set up so I could ping from one of the 
computers on the LAN to the DL-604 but could not get out to the 
Internet.  From the DL-604, I was able to ping my cable company but 
that was it.  Sounds like it might be a DNS issue but I am not 
convinced since I could not even ping the DNS servers from the LAN.  : 
(  Will have to keep trying.

I am still concerned that I will have the same problem with this 
configuration.  The DL-604 will simply function as a switch and I still 
will not see much traffic.  It was not clear from the DL-604 
configuration screens that I can set this up purely as a router.
