Yep, tried that, no luck.

When I boot the machine up and it reads the network configuration file, 
and I type route -n, I get

Destination    Gateway       Genmask          Flags ....
192.168.1.245  0.0.0.0       255.255.255.255  UH    ....
0.0.0.0        192.168.1.245 0.0.0.0          UG    ....

When I type "ifconfig eth1", it reports an address of 192.168.1.13, 
broadcast 192.168.1.255, netmask 255.255.255.255.  The base station has 
(according to its Web interface) address 192.168.1.245, netmask 
255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.1.1.

I can use the wireless card on my wife's new Windows laptop to reach the 
rest of the Net through the base station, so it seems that everything on 
that end is set up properly.
