i purchased a linksys wrt54gs and am having a hard time installing it, i get through most of the installation and then when it searches for internet connection it cannot connect the router to the internet. while everything is plugged in the internet works fine, so why wouldn't it be able to connect the router? i really need help.

I didnt use the installation cd when I hooked up my linksys WRT54G router. All I did was connect my cable modem to the internet in and the computers to the switch it has built in, then I went to 192.168.1.1 and set up wireless for my laptop. Unplug your modem and router from power while you are doing this then once your computers are hooked up plug them in and it should work..
