Hi there!

I'm trying to help a friend of mine set up a Linksys WRT54GS wireless router which will be connected to a Motorla SB5100 surfboard.

Here's the problem!

When she's connected directly to the modem, her connection is fine. She can release and renew her address easily.

When she's connected to the router, she's only able to connect to the router itself (she can get into the admin page in a second). However, the router is showing an IP of 0.0.0.0. I've had her release and renew the address, but she only comes back with 0.0.0.0. She's going to try out a new network cable tomorrow (she's in Providence, RI and I'm in CT, so I can't just use my cable testers), but is there anything else that could cause this? Could it be Cox not allowing the connection to the router?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
