Belkin Router & Webstar Modem
 

Hi,
I`m knew to this and probably in the wrong place but. I have just bought a belkin wirelss G router to connect up with my VM webstar modem which has an ethernet socket and USB. The usb connects to the internet ok but the ethernet does not, if thats bad enough my wifes new built wifi laptop can not or will not pick the signal, where I am going wrong I followed the simply instructions. My westar modem is 6 years old and my pc is running on XP, which possibly my modem ethernet does not recognise or am I talking rubbish:(

Call Tech Support and see about getting a new router as that must be either a DPX100 or a DPX110 and either require replacing.

Try removing the USB modem drivers and any VM software.
Make sure the network adaptor is set set to obtain an IP address automatically.
