Hi.

Have looked for an answer to this to no avail so hope this isn't a duplicate post.

I am trying to use my MacBook to access the internet wirelessly using a Linksys WRT54GL router (running the latest standard firmware).

I am using a Virgin Media Ambit Cable Modem.

I can connect to the router wirelessly, and have configured it (I believe) correctly - the MAC address of my laptop has been cloned, network name changed and WPA key set up, and router IP changed to 192.168.2.1

I can connect to the internet when I connect the MacBook directly to the cable modem.

However, when I connect the modem to the router, and then power up the modem, router, and then laptop, whilst I can connect to the wireless network, I cannot access the net.

Checking the router status this seems to be because no IP address is being assigned to the router by the modem.

Any ideas how to fix this?

All help much appreciated.
