Thanks for the help, CB. I've got a dozen cables of variable lengths at home and had tried more than one over the course of two hours (over last night and very early this morning) prior to going to work and posting.

It turned out to be the Mac address. I connected directly to the Linksys with an ethernet cable, cloned my computer's Mac address, shut down everything, brought first the NTL modem, Linksys and finally my laptop up (I had tried this sequence before, without enabling the Mac address function on the Linksys). Success. Both my comp and my fiancee's are now connected via wireless. Am pleased:-)

I hope this post finds its way into google and helps someone else in the future.
