Ok,

A couple of more things to check/verify:

1. Are you using a normal network cable to connect to the router (i.e not a cross-over cable)?

2. Whilst connected via wireless to the router can you access the router's control panel at 192.168.1.1 (I think) and double check that the DHCP settings appear normal.

3. Have you tried assigning a static IP to your MAC and seeing if that allows you to connect to the internet using either a cable or wireless connection.

4. Do you have access to another router that you can try out?

5. Have you thought about returning your router - it may have a faulty WAN port, I've come across that before.

6. Can you log onto your modem and check that out, under the different connection scenarios. You should be able to search the forum for the IP address & password - I'm at work so can't really be looking up IP address's.

7. When you are connected via cable to your router is the LAN port on your MAC lighting up

7.1 Is the LAN port on your router lighting up as well?

Hopefully some of this will help,

Steve.
