Ok Zebra, let's see if you've done this all correctly.

First, your little cable box must be connected directly to the router, not the computer. Then you run a cable from the router to the computer's ethernet port. On the back of the router, there should be some ports. My Linksys router has 5 ports. One of them is slightly separated from the rest and is labeled 'Internet'. The other four are numbered 1-4. The one that is labeled internet is the port where you need to hook your cable box up to. Then you hook up your computer running a cable from one of the numbered ports to the ethernet port on your computer. If you're hooking up another computer with the use of a cable just do the same thing and run it to another one of the numbered ports on the back of the router. If you're hooking up another computer wiressly, just make sure the receiver is connected to the computer that will be using it. Now turn your computers off. Then on the back of your cable box, there should be a little reset button, press it. There should also be one on the back of the router, press it also. After the cable box is done resetting (the lights start flashing like normal again), turn on your computers. Check and see if you get online. The main computer should be able to. If it isn't able, make sure you installed the software that came on the CD with the router. If you are able to get online, go to Linksys's website and find the driver/update section for your router and get the new updates.
