Do you get a valid IP address?

To check, run "pump -s" from the command prompt. Should look something like this:

Code:
root@mythtv:~# pump -s
Device eth0
        IP: 192.168.1.160
        Netmask: 255.255.255.0
        Broadcast: 192.168.1.255
        Network: 192.168.1.0
        Boot server 192.168.1.1
        Next server 0.0.0.0
        Gateway: 192.168.1.1
        Gateways: 192.168.1.1
        Domain: rochester.rr.com
        Nameservers: 4.2.2.5 4.2.2.1
        Renewal time: Fri Apr 14 06:22:06 2006
        Expiration time: Fri Apr 14 07:52:06 2006


If that looks ok, do a "ping" test:

ex:
Code:
ping 206.117.161.84


Should return results. If so, then the router is routing to the outside.
Now try with a DNS name:
Code:
ping www.geektools.com


Should resolve to the same address above.

I just picked that host as a likely target that wouldn't be blocking pings. If in doubt, ping a host from your desktop first, to verify that it pings, and what the IP resolves to. Then try it from your Myth box.

It sounds like you have the router setup and connected to Windows which in turn is sharing the connection with Linux? That is what I get from reading your message. If that isn't the case, then you need to elaborate. If that is the case, it doesn't make sense. The router should be "directly connected" (wired or wireless) to both systems. Configuring networking with a "router" should not be dependent on Windows.
Code:
netcardconfig
