Question : Problem: CAN'T GET THE ROUTER ACCESS INTERNET THRU CABLE MODEM

All was working well.  However, today I can't get connected to the internet.

The internet connection is thru a Motorola Cable Modem model SB5101i.

The wireless router is a Trendnet Wireless Broadband router with 4 LAN connection.

We have 4 computers connected to the router and the router is connected to the cable modem.  All was working ok, today there is no internet access.

However, the 4 pc can see each other and even the wireless notebooks connected to the router; all can see each other, but no Internet.

If i connect a pc direct to the cable modem, I can access the Internet, but if i connect to ther router first, then no Internet.

So both unit works fine independenty, but when both connected, no internet works.

Any suggestions?

yep - punky right-
switch off cable modem - switch off router - power odwn or disconnect PCs -  wait
in this order - switch on cable modem - wait till lights steady (approx 2 min s)   then switch on router - then power up or connect pcs.
