Re: Cable connection on my 8500- New Year's appeal

[rgeaston]

make sure you unplug everything and then hook everything up ... turn on 
everything but the modem and make sure the router is completely up and 
then turn on the modem. Most cable companies have their modems set up 
to only accept 1 MAC address. by giving the modem your router MAC 
address, you should be good to go. (I had similar problems with my 
mother's network and cable modem and this fixed it)

 I tried a connection from the cable modem to the router to the hub, 
but
even after after switching things around I still could not access the
internet on the other computers on the network.

What can I do to restore my network and firewall?
