Basically i have a telewest cable connection to a motorolla surfboard modem, to a belkin wireless router. The router hadn't been turned off in a few weeks and today, when i tried to turn it back on, there seems to be no connectivity.

At the moment, i'v hooked the modem directly via ethernet to the PC, so there is nothing wrong with the internet connection itself. My suspicion is the modem isn't registering the correct IP address or something similar with the router, but no matter what i try i can't get it to work!

The router model is F57230D-4. When i plug the ethernet cable from the modem to the router the following happens

WAN light flashes, connected ligh flashes. Also in the belkin control panel it says 'not connected'. I'v tried simultaneously turning the two on and off, but i'm not having any luck. Will appreciate any feedback at ALL!
