hmmm... you got XP right? you should be able to connect using the cable modem direct or via the router without changing any settings. - tho id always advise rebooting both pc and cm when trying to connect.

one thing to make sure is that your network connection is not setup just for the router - if you go into control panel > network connections > double click on your network card > properties > click on tcp/ip settings > properties, and in there it should be set as 'obtain ip addy automatically' and 'obtain dns server addy automatically'.
