Im trying to get my Linksys SRX Router to work, it's connected to the computer im getting into the router via internet explorer and stuff but i cant connect to the internet. i dont get it. and when im using the routers cd wizard thing, as it says it is configuring the router it'll go though and then say internet connected fix step 8. step 8 is where you have the host name and domain name. and i believe i have nothing to fill those boxes. ( i have comcast cable) wtf is up here? anyone>??:|

Cable service usually goes by MAC Address, try cloning the MAC of the computer that was last working on the cable service. Also make sure you unplug the cable modem power completely for atleast 1-2 minutes then after the cable modem has synched back up (usually 1 minute) plug the router in, but try cloning the MAC address.
