Stymied by Netgear Router

Greetings People,

I have an IBM Thinkpad A31p, a new DSL service from SBCGlobal.net
with a SpeedStream 5100 modem. Just bought a Netgear WGR614v4 Router
(wireless, but I'm hooking it up with a cable for the time being, and
will attack wireless later when I try to get my wife's computer added
to the system).

The computer recognizes the modem and is working fine. It recognizes
the router. But when I hook the router to the modem, and the computer
to the router, something is preventing it from getting through to the
Internet. I don't think SBC will be of much help, because they
advised me they don't support routers. Has anyone had any experience
with anything similar?

Your help will be much appreciated.
 
Type in ipconfig /all in a command window and repost with the results.

Thank you very much. Meantime, another question: Does the firewall on
the router automatically work, or do I have to activate it somehow?
And, in any case, can I get rid of ZoneAlarm now? TIA
