I have a Linksys EZXS55W router. I can't get the router to network computers together. There are 3 computers hooked up to the router which is hooked up to the cable modem. Any help would be appreciated.

Need allot more info. Can you get out on the net? What problems are you having, meaning are you able to share some resources or nothing, what are you trying to do?
You should be using DHCP on the router. Set your computers to "Obtain an IP Address Automatically"

Just set up a linksys wrt54g 1 pc wireless 1 pc connected via ethernet and a solaris box connected via ethernet. Had many issues pinging at first.
1) make sure the router is set up for dhcp 2) make sure your workgroup names are the same on your pc's. 3) Shut off your os firewalls on each pc. Your router takes care of the firewall.
If it still does not work shut off all hardware, cable modem, pc's, router.
Then turn modem on, then router the your pc's and see if you can ping.
