Well, for one you cannot have your internet connection thru two ports at once...it's either USB, or NIC.

You'll need a crossover cable from the modem to the router, and straight thru cables from the router to all your other devices/computer.

Wha type of cable modem is it? ours is from road runner. when we switched from the usb to the ethernet same as you to hook up to a router for my xbox 360. I had to power off my cable modem and let it sit for a minute. also, if your isp(Road Runner does for a fact) requires the MAC address to be cloned you must set that up in your router. to do that you type in the ip adress of the router (Linksys is 192.168.1.1) then type in the username and password for the router(Linksys is no username just password admin). Then look in the router for a setting called mac adress clone and then click something like clone your pcs mac adress and you are online.

That quote is untrue, you always use a standard ethernet cable to use in all cords of a traditional router setup, crossover cables are made for things like pc to pc transfers and are becoming obsolete.
