Problems connecting to the internet with Linksys WCG200 router

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

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