Cable Internet Not Accessible through Router 7

[RexxSysProg]

I just put in cable Internet access. The installer hooked it up directly to the PC and it worked fine. Now I put a router in between the modem and the PC and the PC doesn't see the modem. If I disconnet it from the router and put it back directly into the PC the PC sees it. The PC does see a laptop that is also connected to the Router so I know the PC's access to the router is OK.

What am I doing wrong and/or what do I need to do to get it to be seen with the router? I am using Zone Alarm as a firewall but I want the router firewall too.

(Before I connected the router, I saw "Internet" in "Map Network Drive". But after I hooked up the Router it's now gone, even though I've disconnected the router. I don't know whether that is significant)

Glad we were able to help. Hopefully, your friend is sending you that manual so you can hace it handy in the future.

I'm glad you got it working. I just wish my fourth question "Is the router's WAN port connected to the modem?" in my first post was more clear. On the otherhand, I would not have learned Nelviticus' QuickEdit Mode.

That's OK, Freestone. I should have asked what exactly you meant. And this way I learned about Quick Edit Mode, too.
