Yeah i am very sure, it is a U.S.Robotics (8000A) router. I have also tried a netgear wireless "DG834G" router, although i can't get even one computer working with this (even using the wired ports). They both have an uplink port which i plug the modem into and four normal ethernet ports.

Just to clarify some of my diagnootsics...
I had two computers, computer A and computer B both setup to use DHCP.
I plugged one computer (computer A) into my modem, reset the modem and the internet worked on it.
Removed the cable from computer A and put it into computer B. The Internet did not work (there is certainly no DNS resolution, didn't actually try putting in a specific IP address). Then i reset the modem and the internet worked.
