are you talking about the 192.168.5.1 address...if so, then yes...they will..

this is just a private address, it's "real" address so to speak is the 192.168.0.5

if you are connected to the linksys and your address is 192.168.5.x you should be able to ping the 192.168.0.1 address.

if all you want to do is use 7 computers at the same time then just use the versalink as your gateway/router and then either a) purchase a small 5 or 8 port switch to go off of the versalink OR b) use the linksys as a switch and connect a cable from the versalink to one of the lan ports on the linksys with a crossover.

if you go with "b" then you'll have to disable dhcp on the linksys and just use it as a switch, but for simplicity just get a small switch and run it off of the versalink.
