What he said.

Chrisann: How the hell do you have that set up? 82.x.x.x is a WAN IP not a LAN IP. In other words, your PC is connected directly to the internet not to the router. The subnets are different so it's unsurprising it's not going to work.

Dunno what your ISP is... but you have the WRT54G so i'll assume NTL or Telewest. You need to wire up like this:

NTL modem <----ethernet cable---> router <---ethernet cable---> PC

Using USB will not work; you need to switch.
