I think there is misconfigurations here:
First try to Connect the Router to the Modem like this:
{~ISP~} Wall Plug<----- Modem <---- Router <--- From the router plug your
Computer and run the software or the Wizard to set up your connection
or (
type in the URL the IP 192.186.1.1) to bring up the router web page ,the
step
like these:
Start the Wizard:
Press the Reset Button on the back of the Router for 30 Secs and release,
then power OFF the computer/Laptop then the Router and wait for 10
minutes.
Connect the Router to the Internet line and Plug in the Power cord, then
try
to connect the Laptop first wired to the Router to start the Setup with
Ethernet cable.
Then start the Set up wizard by inserting your Router CD installation.
These step the same as the one will be mentioned later on setup.

This is our configuration. His router (lynksys WRT54G) is connected
to my
computer, which is connected to a cable modem ( Motorola Surfboard). He
did
have a wireless adapter board with antenna in his computer.His power
supply
blew the board, (we think) so he got a new Netgear 54 Mbps wireless USB
adapter to replace the adapter board. The guy at best buy said just
plug it
into the back of his computer and it would work fine. I cannot
disconnect
the modem, because that is where the internet connection comes in.
Maybe I
am in over my head, and will call the cable co., or perhaps I will call
someone at Best Buy for assistance. I got onto the website of the
router,
and did not see any WEP settings. I am confused.
:
he is connected via cable modem, which is connected to my computer.
I
typed in browser, and got no connection to the internet is
available.
HELP!

you are talking about?) and they want a password. He of course does
not
remember it. Any way to get around this?
Sorry I didn't just type out the address, which is 192.168.1.1;
which
must be done in his browser on his computer. The connection between
his
router and his pc is what matters to read this page. Try it... and
if
he gets a log in box... try leaving the user name *blank* and type
"admin" for his password. That should display the settings you need
to
know/change.
Is his ISP cable or DSL? That will make a difference in his
settings.
The link that Nass gave you will probably answer a lot of your
questions. As s/he said, return if you can't work it out.

Type the URL given below, in his browser's address bar [IE,
Mozilla or
whatever he is using].

The ISP is right! They are not the ones who provide the wireless
Linksys router. Your son need to re-establish the wireless link
between the Linksys router and his new USB adapter. From your
computer, get your son to access the routers internal web page (ex:
http://192.168.1.1) and re-configure the wireless section, including
the WEP/WAP security.

This power supply blew his adapter board so he purchased a wireless
USB
adapter. Still cannot get on the internet. We called our ISP and
they
said
it was not a problem on their end. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks much.

Hi Virgo,
Let me recap on this, he blow up his computer and got a USB Wireless
and
you
mentioned in your last message he connected by a cable modem?.
So what kind of connection he want to establish, wired or wireless?.
This a drew according to your last message
Router <----------- Your Computer
^
|?
His Computer ( wireless/Wired).
No he need to detach the cable Modem and Use the Utility came with
USB to
establish a connection, and he need the Encryption Key (either
WPA,WEP)
and
know the name of the connection say *VirgoNetwork* and enter the
Encryption
Key and he will be able to establish connection.
The link I provided earlier will help if you both go through it and
make a
note like step 1, step 2, step 3, step4 connection.
P.S if you need to get to the router, through your Browser first, but
if
he
establish connection sure he can access the router web interface
HTH.
Let us know.

nass
