Ok I think so default IP address of your Motorola 2210 Modem is 192.168.1.254 and it getting clash with Linksys’s 192.168.1.1 IP address. Do not utilize the default setup CD. Cut off your router from modem. Attach your laptop via CAT5 cable that you got with Linksys to the LAN ports on the Linksys. Now open your Internet Explorer browser and write http://192.168.1.1 in to the address bar. Now just Login as admin/admin and modify the IP Address of the Linksys to 192.168.2.1. Cut off the laptop and reattach the DSL modem to the Internet port of the linksys. Discover the wireless network named linksys and attach. I think so now you will use internet.

Thanks a lot Mr. Milton.J fro this useful replay. You know I was struggling with this problem from last one month. I searched on Google for the solution but nothing helps me out. I made lots of experiments on my IP address but nothing help me out. I called to ATT and they told me to repair this problem but they were charging me $100. It was huge amount for me. Now I am very happy bcz you solved my problem without money.

Thanks a lot for making this forum because lots of people were struggling with this problem. I have one question here; I use internet for online radio. When I launch radio on my laptop it did not work but when I launch it on my desktop it work. On both systems, I am using windows Vista. Please tell where the problem is. I love listening online radio during my works but nowadays I am not using this function.
