Really weird. I assume you can get to the router's admin setup pages when the router is connected by ethernet to the PC. It's just you cannot get the router to speak to the modem via a second ethernet cable at the same time.

Assuming the above is correct, power everything off, unplug all the USB cables at each end, plug the ethernet cable end (the one between the PC and router), from the router end into the modem, power on and see if you have a connection - do any of the lights show on the modem, or your ethernet card. If there is no connection, phone ntl, and state that the ehternet port on your router has failed and you need a replacement cable modem.
