The cable modem is from Comcast Internet which I just got but unless I plug in the internet to anything other than my PC, the internet wont go through.

The Comcast cable guy came and installed it for us.

If you programmed your Router through your computer and CLONED the MAC address of your computer, it will start to work.
Sometimes when you change devices that are connected to your Cable modem, you have to TURN IT OFF for 10 seconds, then turn it back on, so it will make the internet available to the new device, like the router.
Once you get the router to work, it will be easy to share the connetion with your computer and xbox.
Good luck

The provider has possibly cached the macaddress of the router in its Arp table. once you get rid of the router and connect the computer, the macadddress differences, and routing fails. you may close down the modem for 20-1/2-hour, or call the provider to have them sparkling it.

I know it should work, contact Comcast(if you got the modem from them) they will provide withall the technical support you need.

Is there a software disk you need to run first?
