Router Problem

[Sanzy]

Ive just set up the router a Netgear Wgt624v2 108mbs wireless one . but i cant get the internet to work via either wireless or ethanet , only if the laptop is connected directly into my surfboard modem. I have noticed that in the router settings it has no ip or anything all just 0.00.000.00 so i try to release and renew but it just stays the same is there any ideas on how i can get internet to work thanks
