I need help configuring my cable modem and router. something has gone wrong, and I do not fully understand the information. I need a step-by-step set of instructions or an explanation that would help me with configuration. I have searched google, and I cannot find either a tutorial or a set of step-by-step instructions. At least I cannot find a tutorial that is independent of a particular product. Tnx, Charles

Normally how a router is configured is that it is connected to the cable modem. The cable modem acts as a DNS server, it assigned IP addresses to each device that it sees connected to it. Normally that's the PC, but when you connect a router to the modem instead the router gets assigned an IP address by the modem. The router in turn assigns IP subnet addresses to each PC or device connected to it. The modem cannot see these other devices. Most routers are already configured by default to connect and get the IP address from the modem. You can try unplugging the modem to reset it, and do the same with the router after the modem is up and running again. Then connect your PC to the router and see what happens.
