You should connect to the WAN port of the Linksys.

You would need a cable modem configuration that supplied more than one IP
address. If you connect to the WAN port of the router instead of the LAN
port, all of the PCs will get addresses supplied by the router, and appear
to the cable modem at a single IP address, the one you are now seeing on on
PC.

You might need to clone the MAC address of the working PC into the router.
