"No joy" doesn't tell us what you see on your laptop screen. Usually when this happens, there's a sequence you need to follow so that the SH detatched itself from your PC. Also you'd want your PC NIC to be set up to do everything automatically (if it doesn't do so already), particularly DHCP.

Then:

. Turn off the SH
. Turn off your router (which should have been configured for Cable)
. Connect the router to the modem mode SH
. Turn on your router
. Turn on your SH
. Wait till it's all connected (blue light on SH, Internet light on Router)
. Connect your laptop to the router
. If necessary use REPAIR CONNECTION to get it going
