The basic problem is that you have the WAN side IP address of the router set to 192.168.100.2. What you should do is set the WAN side of the router to pick up an address via DHCP (as Uncle Peter says above). Then, when you power up the cable modem WITH the coax connected, then power up the router, the router WAN port will pick up a public IP address (82.24.x.x), and your PC will pick up a private IP address (192.168.0.10) from the router. The router then uses NAT (network address translation) to convert packets from your PC, send them out to t'internet, and route the responses back to your PC.
