You won't need a crossover cable - a standard Cat5 cable is what you need.

Just out of interest, what IP address (if any) does the PC get when the router is hooked-up?

Does the PC get a connection OK if it's connected directly to the modem, ie without having the wireless router included in the equation?

Also, you say that you've checked the boot-up sequence... I presume that you've rebooted the cable modem since you added the router, as otherwise the cable modem won't recongise the change of MAC address from the PC to the router.
