I'm a bit suspicious about that. Usually u only use a x-over cable to link two computers together. The computer-modem cable should be a straight cable.

I'm puzzled by you saying 'the internet hole' - there are 6 'holes' at the back, the modem should connect to the one marked WAN - not the ones marked 1-4 or 'uplink'.
the pc then connects to any of the 1-4 sockets  |
I think he has a v.3 That renames the WAN connection to Internet & doesn't have the uplink port.
