You're not supposed to clone your MAC for the LAN, just for the WAN. The reason why cloning is offered at all is because some ISPs "register" the MAC address of the machine connected to the modem. In order to save you the hassle of going through re-registration, router manufacturers simply allow you to clone your PC's MAC address so your ISP doesn't know you've hooked a router up. There is no purpose in doing that on a LAN; in fact, that can cause problems with MAC-based filters and such.

-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.

Did you reset your modem? Unplug the power cable, wait 15 seconds, then plug it back in. That's the most common cause of router upgrade problems.

If resetting didn't help, log into your router and look at the Status page. Do you have an IP address assigned under the WAN settings?

Ok, what is it? If it's 169.254.x.x, 192.168.x.x,, 127.x.x.x, 10.x.x.x, or 0.0.0.0 then you've got a problem. But I'll assume it's a real IP. That means your WAN side (public side, also the modem side) is probably ok, and your PC is having trouble connecting to the router. First, disable any software firewall temporarily and try opening your browser to a safe website. If still nothing, click Start->Run and enter in IPCONFIG /ALL and hit enter. What do you get? Of particular interested, IP Address should say 192.168.0.x, where the x is some number not 0, 1, or 255. Gateway should be 192.168.0.1. Is this what you're seeing?

Also, while you're in CMD, enter PING 192.168.0.1. It should set SENT=4 RECEIVED=4 LOST=0. If so, you're good and we'll take it from there. Type EXIT and hit enter to exit out of the DOS command window.
