[SOLVED] Internet connection

[RBRiley]

I am using a linksys router and was having no problems with the desktop wired to the router as well as two laptops. Then without warning the router has apparently decided to stop letting internet connection through. I am rebooted everything released and renewed the DCHP in through the firmware. On the desktop is says internet is connected but I can get anything to come up. When I plug the modem directly into the laptop I get a connection no problem. Any ideas?

• Turn off everything, the modem, router, computer.
• Connect the modem to the router's WAN/Internet port.
• Connect the computer to one of the router's LAN/Network ports.
• Turn on the modem, wait for a steady connect light.
• Turn on the router, wait for two minutes.
• Boot the computer.

When the computer is completely booted, let's see this.

Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt:

Type the following command:

IPCONFIG /ALL

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.

I'm guessing that a direct connection to the modem works? If so, it sounds like the router bit the dust.
