Why won't my router connection work?

Question

I have a second computer I'm connecting to my Comcast cable modem and the router has worked fine so far. My computer says that there is a connection there at 400 Mbps and everything should check out but when I go in my browser nothing works.

Thanks but that didn't work. I'd like to add that this is a brand new computer with Windows XP just installed and next to no drivers on there.

Thanks guys I figured out I needed to install a network driver that came with the computer. I solved it ;)

Well, George, if you are telling us that you have an internet connection coming out of the wall going into a modem, then attached to the modem is a router, then I think you should delete your temporary internet files and shut down all your computers, then do the following:

1. unplug the power to your modem
2. unplug the power to your router
3. wait 30-45 seconds and restore power to your modem
4. wait 60 seconds or until the lights stabilize on your modem
5. restore power to your router; wait until the lights stabilize
6. boot up your computer and try again.

Good Luck
