I am gathering you have already installed all the drives and CD installation stuff. Therefore i can only suggest to connect the modem separatley and then boot the computer up and see if the computer can pick up a net connection with just the modem connected. If that is successfull.

Then switch it off and connect the router and try and see if you turn the computer back on if the computer can read the router.

Try going in to command prompt and typing

ipconfig /all

You should get a list of numbers and all your computers wireless and ethernet connections plus I.P addresses.

Then if you get your I.P addresses then type in:

ping (insert ip address number here e.g. 192.168.*.*)

Once you do that then see if you get any replys if you do that means the router is reading and then you may also need to check the modems response by doing the same thing but the I.P Address of this is different but would be found in the list of numbers in ipconfig /all.

If you get responses from both devices after pinging them then try and see if you can ping the net from Command Prompt by typing the following.

ping www.google.com

If you get a response that said that it recieved also packets like when you pinged the router and the modem your connection should be up and running.

If not then post what responses you get and ill try to help you from there.

On a side note i think this is what u want in your sig area.

To do this just press on the pic button next to the Quotes ""button then put the cursor in the middle of the two img's after the end of the bracket and before the start of the other bracket. Your img should come out then. Like above.
