Router Cant connect

[Sremaj]

Hi johnwill,

I realize this thread is old but I'm having this exact problem with this router. My home computer works and connects fine straight to the modem but when I plug in this router and attempt to connect it doesn't connect. I will attempt to give you the info you require...

Country: USA
ISP: Comcast
Modem: Motorola SB5120 Cable Modem
Router: Linksys BEFSR41 Cable/DSL 4-Port Router
Connection Type: Wired
Make & Model of my Computer: Custom Built... I can elaborate on this if you desire.
Windows Info: XP Pro, Service Pack 3, version 2002
Internet Browser: Firefox

I have tried connecting multiple computers to the router and I'm getting the same issue - can't connect to the internet.

Here are the results from the command prompt:
