Hi all, I have two problems right now with my internet connection...

Started two days ago, my desktop cannot get internet when I plug the ethernet cable into my wireless router (The WRTP54G Linksys), but when I connect my ethernet into my modem, the internet works. I spoke to linksys live chat reps who gave me a list of this and that to do (did 3 seperate lists of stuff). I thought a fresh reformat would help, but to no avail, then another problem came up now.. In my network connections folder, only the 1394 adapter connection shows, and not the LAN connection (I'm on the desktop right now directly connected to the modem by the way)

I read another thread on here about someone having the same latter problem as me, it is on in my bios and the Nforce networking drivers are shown in device manager so I do not think that is the problem.

So to recap, LAN connection not showing in network connections, and the issue of not getting internet when connected through my wireless router.
Note that the wireless works fine and my cousin's laptop picks it up, it seems as if the router did not assign my desktop an IP, I also tried to manually configure in the IP and DNS and such, it would go to "connected" but with no packets on the recieving side.

Any thoughts? Ideas? This is driving me insane...
