Netgear router problems

[Help Please?!]

I connected the router but I have one problem, I think it might be the wrong router for my connection.

I have internet from some local network, so I have no modem. Hmmm I cant use the cable I got with my router to connect it to the modem because I have no modem just a cable. So I connected that cable in one of the ports instead and connected it to the pc, and put the internet cable into the router as well. Yes I put them in the right places, but I'm guessing this might not be the type of cable that the router uses.

So yeh, now Im here. Help! Should I get a different router? Maybe I should use a different cable for the pc-router connection?

Thanks in advance.

Oh yeh and the router is a NETGEAR WGR614v8.
And also, when I connect in my own way as I did, it says that the connection is only local(the internet doesn't work but my lappy can hook up to the network through wireless).

Please supply the following info, exact make and models of the equipment please.

Name of your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
Make and exact model of the broadband modem.
Make and exact model and hardware version of the router (if a separate unit).
Model numbers can usually be obtained from the label on the device.
Connection type, wired or wireless.
If wireless, encryption used, (none, WEP, WPA, or WPA2)
Version and patch level of Windows on all affected machines, i.e. XP (Home or Pro), SP1-SP2-SP3, Vista (Home, Business, Ultimate), etc.
The Internet Browser in use, IE, Firefox, Opera, etc.




Please give an exact description of your problem symptoms, including the exact text of any error messages.

• If you're using a wireless connection, have you tried a direct connection with a cable to see if that changes the symptoms?
• For wireless issues, have you disabled all encryption on the router to see if you can connect that way?
• Have you connected directly to the broadband modem to see if this is a router or modem/ISP issue?
• If there are other computers on the same network, are they experiencing the same issue, or do they function normally?

On any affected computer, I'd also like to see this:

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD (COMMAND for W98/WME) to open a command prompt:

Type the following commands:

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