Tried that, the router flat out doesn't seem to see the modem. Can't renew IP or anything. No light on int the WAN categaory. Updating Firmware now.

bad patch cable. make sure you are using a patch cable from teh cable modem output to the wan input on the router. Not a cross-cable.

crossover
and a patch cable can be either a crossover or a straight through

thanks for the clarification, though, i was typing shorthand and too fast for my own good. I do know the difference between a crossover and straight through cable.

Fixed the problem. A note to all people who buy this router: If your modem only does 10mbs, change the WAN port from 100mbs to 10mbs (newer firmware does it automatically). Thanks for the help.
