Tried it with just an ethernet cable between the modem and pc, but to no avail - as I say, got the orange pc/activity light flashing, but not able to connect to the net at all, so I need some help getting the modem running via the ethernet cable, then I believe that the wireless router will work fine after that.

Just to say, I know the network card is fine as I have had a laptop connected on a local network using a crossover cable to this pc.
