Nope. I like Linksys products, but mine isn't.
The 192.168.x.x range is a Class B IP network that is defined to be for local networks, so it isn't routed onto the Internet directly. Every home router, AFAIK, uses that address range for automatically assigned IP addresses. It provides 64,516 usable IP addresses that can be assigned on a local network without worrying about registration.
Internet access has to be through a router which uses NAT (Network Address Translation) to provide the connection, even though the PC itself doesn't have a "legal" Internet IP. The router does.
