Could you help me with my cable modem? Recently I got cable modem and
I wanted to connect with two computers, both of them under win2000. I
bought the Linksys router as well but somehow the host computer can log
on only, other pc is connect also but unable to recieved any packets.
So therefore i am unable to log on internet. Would you please show me
how to fix it? thank you in advance.

Is your cable modem in the WAN port on the rounter and the other 2 in the normal ports? Have both computers had network setup wizard run on them and have IPs?

Have you tried release/renewing ip's?
Also, sometimes recycling the cable modem helps: shutdown host pc, unplugged modem leave all for 5 minutes...power up modem, then pc.
