You probably need to set your network card to use dhcp. Currently your
network cards ip is set to a value that a linksys router (by default)
uses for dynamically assigned ip addresses. It might not allow you to
use the internet if you are not a dhcp client.
That was worded really really badly, sorry.
in short, try setting up your network card to use dhcp.

ps. you could also setup your netword card to a static address of
192.168.0.2 that shouldn't result in a conflict.
