If you computer works with the modem, then the next step is to plug the router into the modem and one computer into the router. Configure the router's WAN setup as you had your computer setup, then configure your computer per the Router's instructions. If you got DHCP to work between your computer and modem, then that should also work between the router and modem, and between the computer and the router. Beyond that, it will be very tough to help remotely. I don't have the detailed information on how your modem nor your router work. Check the discussion groups at either <http://www.threemacs.com/> or <http://www.practicallynetworked.com/> which are orientated towards this sort of thing as someone there might have experience with you hardware setup.
