just a thought did your ISP ever ask the MAC address of your network card when you signed up, im wandering if they've tied the account to the mac address of your pc therefore stopping you from using another computer/router unless you either

A. change the mac address registered with them

OR

B. most routers have an option to spoof the mac address they send to the WAN port (which the modem plugs into), you could try spoofing the mac the router sends out to the one of your Pc that the internet is working on.

Then plug the router up and see if it gets internet off the modem.

I guess you'd leave it on dynmaic addressing (get ip from dhcp) but as i don't know what your ISP's setup requires it is just a guess i'm afraid.

Hope that might be of some help to you.
