What's the exact problem?

Do you have an ethernet cable between the pc and the modem? Disconnect it and go into Control Panel- Network Connections and see what it says next to "Local Area Connection"- should say "network cable unplugged" or smthg... then plug it in, what does it say then? Should say "Connected" or something.

Right click the connection and select Status, on the Support tab what are the first digits of the IP? something like 10, 192, 169, etc etc. Just the first two/three digits?

What make/model is the CM and what lights are on/flashing?

What type of cable are you using to connect (look for anything written on the plugs)?
