Have you tried to ping a host in the internet by its numerical IP address?
If this works the problem is your nameserver (DNS) setup (is the BEFW11S4
your nameserver?). WinXP may get its nameserver from DHCP, while you used
a static IP address with FC2.

If the BEFW11S4 has some Ethernet jacks, you may also connect the Linux PC
by wired Ethernet and try to reach the Internet without WLAN to check your
router configuration (if any, the nameserver problem should exists there
too).

Check the firewall rules (if any) of the router.

HTH,
