[SOLVED] G4 iBook help [rotuer/internet help]

Hi there,

I quite new to using Macs, so therefore don't know much on using them.
So up until recently I was using a USB modem on my mac to access the internet.
I now have a router so i can connect everything in the house, the router is a Thomson Speedtouch 530, I'm quite certain the driver CD that came with the router doesn't have any mac drivers on it, (so is it even compatible?)
If i plug the ethernet cable into my mac (from the router) nothing happens (again i know nothing about macs)

So can anyone give my a little guidance?

I'm running OSX which is fully upto date as far as i know.

thanks in advance.
