    whats the model number of the modem

    im getting all sorts of crap so i need the model number

    one more thing to try

    open ie
    tools/internet options
    connections/setup

    use the wizard to setup your connection

    then repeat the above steps
    remember to right click you lan connection and select properties

    lynchnot

    if you have a firewall installed
    uninstall it for now along with any pop-up blocker

    these will only complicate the problems

    you have to goto startmenu run
    type cmd
    type ipconfig/release
    enter
    type ipconfig/renew
    enter

    you should have a Connection-specific DNS Suffix
    if its blank then you are not comunicating with the internet

    reset the modem and reboot the computer

    Hey lynchknot, glad to see that you got your cable , sorry to see that you are having trouble. I had the something happen in that when the cable guy came and hooked it up he could not get it working so it was up to me to do so.

    Have a look at this and let us know what you find out. As well it looks like you are using ether net connection, have you tried the USB to see if it will work?
