Hi all.

I just received a Linksys WCG200 cable modem and router (see
ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pdf/wcg200_ug.pdf) and I am trying to connect it
to my Videotron cable-based internet connection. It seems that the
modem can connect (Cable LED is green, status on the config page says
that it is connected) to Videotron. I also can connect to the router
both via the LAN cable and wirelessly. However, I am unsable to browse
the internet.

My laptop's IP configuration is all set to automatic and I correctly
receive an IP address via DHCP. Therefore I cannot see why I wouldn't
be able to reach the internet. Does anybody have any ideas?

Cheers,
Eric

Are you getting an ip address on the wan side, from the cable modem?

Your Internet Service Provider has to know the MAC for your new goodies.
Call them and connected.
