Change the computers NIC address 1st, with nothing connected to the computer. disconnect the router. Write down the NICS MAC address that works when connected to the modem..
UNPLUG LAN cable going to this NIC addy that works.
Now change the NIC to something else, anything but the MAC addy that worked directly connected to the modem..
Disable the NIC card, then enable it
Now connect the router and only the routerthe the NIC card that we changed the MAC address just a minute ago.
BTW, during this whole process, unplug the power to the cable modem..We dont need it to be on yest
Now connect and LAN port of the router 1-4 to the NIC card that we changed the MAC address a few steps back. Get into the router, finf the routers MAC address on the WAN side and change it to the MAC of the NIC card that workded when the cable modem was plugged into the NIC directly.
Reboot router and enable/disable the NIC of the addy we changed..
Now plug in cable modem and connect LAN cable from modem to WAN input on router.
All shud work.
