   Hi,
   I'm not familiar with the exact router you mentioned, but routers are more-or-less the same. So, first make sure the router and modem are connected correctly. There should be an ethernet cable running from the modem to the WAN port on the router. Then a cable should run from one of the other ports on the router (LAN ports 1-4) to the ethernet port on the tower. Now, locate the reset button on the back of the router and hold it in for 20-30 seconds. You may need a pen/pencil or a straightened paper clip to push the button. Then restart the PC. You didn't mention which version of Windows you're using so I'll assume it's XP. Go to Control Panel > Internet Options; type your desired home page in the Address box, you must include "http://" at the beginning of the web address; click Apply; click the Connections tab; click the Setup button; click Next; check the top circle and click Next; check the 2nd circle and click Next; check the bottom circle and click Next; click Finish. Now, back at the Control Panel, open up Network Connections; right click the LAN connection and select Properties; click once on Internet Protocol and click Properties; make sure the two circles here are both set to "automatically"; click the Alternate Connections tab and make sure it's set to "automatic" also. Close all this out and try to surf again. If it doesn't go, please provide us more info: the make/model of both PCs, the Windows versions on both PCs, etc.... also, lots of good general troubleshooting info can be found here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936211/en-us
   Good luck!
