Router not working!

[Quantic]

Hey guys,

Had my internet disconnected recently - company's fault. Now he came out today and reconnected. Now I can't share my net connection (wireless network). My broadband modem is connected to my computer via USB and also to my router via ethernet cable. The router is then connected to my computer via ethernet. However, in order for my internet to work I have to disconnect the ethernet connection to my router. If it is connected then I get no internet. Also, none of the other computers in the house can access the net whether the ethernet is connected or not to my main computer.

Any suggestions?

Assuming it's a cable modem, disconnect both USB and ethernet, switch it off, then switch it on. Wait for the lights to settle down and hook up only the ethernet (and connect your machine to the router).

Very strange. I did what you said and I still couldn't access net. I plugged the USB in and disabled the USB connection and VOILA. Works!
