Not able to connect Internet via router.

I can access to internet when I connect an Ethernet cable between my
computer and the DSL modem (Asus ADSL router), without any problem. However
no way to access to internet when I connect the same computer’s Ethernet
cable to LinkSys wireless-G Broadband Router and Router to the DSL modem
with another Ethernet cable. I tried many procedures but no hope. Any help
will be appreciated.
 
This fix is applicable to static IP addresses. Find out from your ISP if you
have a static IP address. Okay, first I would recommend reconnecting your
DSL modem with your PC, then you need to write down certain IP numbers from
your network connection. Here's how:

1) Click Start -> Control Panel -> Network Connections
2) You should have one or more connections listed, right click on the
connection being used for the internet and click status. Next click the
support tab, and then click details.
3) Write down the following numbers display after the texts:
IP Address:
Subnet Mask:
Default Gateway:
DNS Server:
DNS Server:
DNS Server:

Note - You only need one DNS server entry to gain access to the internet,
but if more are listed, ensure you make a note of them.

Now what you need to do, is connect your modem to your router, your pc to
your router, and go back to your network connections. Next, right click on
your previously found network connection, and click properties. Find
"Internet Protocol", click on it and click properties, ensure you have
written down all information before proceding, and click obtain address
automatically on both IP and DNS. Now, go to your router setup page and find
an Internet connection option, change to Static IP, and fill in the
information you have just found.

Note for DHCP ISP users, if you can connect your modem to your pc and access
the internet, but not your modem to your router, and your pc to your router,
you may need to clone your pc's mac address in your router. Contact your ISP
to find out if they store your mac address.
 
PS - you may need to restart your computer between the steps of changing
your IP and DNS to automatic configuration, and loading your router setup
page.

Baba,

What's the model number of the Asus router? If this is truly a combined modem /
router, are you running it in bridge mode (ie disable the routing functions)
when you connect the Linksys router?

When the computer is hooked to the Linksys router, does it have connection with
the router? Can you ping the router? Are you connecting the computer Ethernet
or wireless?

Are you using a tested, straight-thru cable to connect the modem to the router?

What type of DSL service do you have? Is the router WAN connection configured
for that service?

If you have PPPoE service, is the router configured with the account and
password? If you have DHCP service, will the router do MAC address spoofing?

For DHCP service:
1) With the computer connected to the modem, and online, open a command prompt
window (Start - Run - "cmd") and enter "ipconfig /release".
2) Power down the modem, router, and computer.
3) Connect modem to router to computer.
4) Power up the modem, wait until it's lights are stable.
5) Power up the router, wait until it's lights are stable.
6) Power up the computer, and connect to the router.
