Looks like it's having problems finding MAC.

Have you tried switching off the PC, router and modem all together? If not switch them all off, leave for a minute or so, then switch on cable modem and allow to fully start up. Then switch on router and allow to fully switch on. Then start your PC.

Also, I have always found with Belkin that you have more 'luck' if you set it up initially using the ethernet connection, then when that is working, then start using the wireless.

You will have a hardware firewall built in to the router, but it will not do any harm to keep the XP software firewall on as well, there should not be any conflicts between the two. I personally keep them both on.
