Sudden loss of Router Function

Folks,

My network consists of a Linksys WRT54GS v1.1 connected to an NTL250 modem.

Up until last night / this morning all was well on the network. This morning however I cannot get the router to talk to the modem and I am getting a touch frustrated to say the least!

I can direct link to the modem and access the setup page (192.168.100.1)
I can direct link to the router's 4 RJ45 connections (192.168.1.1)

When I connect the router to the modem using the same cable it's been using for the past year or so, I can no longer access the modem, only the router. Changing the cable brings no joy with the three I've used.

When the cable is connected the 'enet' light is lit on the modem and the router's internet light is on to indicate the connection is there.

The modem and the router have been power cycled several times and the router has been reset several times.

Either the router WAN port has decided to expire overnight or I am doing something very silly and not seeing the obvious trick which will see me good.

Any suggestions gratefully received!
