remove my router - connect direct

To test a problem I'm having with MSN messenger Audio/video conf), I want to take my router out of the loop and connect PC direct to modem to cable.

But I've been routered up for so long I can't remember what changes I need to make on PC to go back to the direct way of working

PC is set to get IP automaticaly (to suit router DHCP)

can someone remind me please

I assume your connecting via ethernet card? All's I did when wanting to run without the router, is just unplug from the router, and plug directly into the nic Dont need to make any changes.

As Steve said, also depending on if you spoofed the MAC address when you set up the router, you may need to switch the CM of for 30 seconds before you plug in the cable from your PC.
