You have probably a misconfiguration on the settings of
the cable modem or the PC.
For the PC, right-mouse click on the two computers icon,
and open Network Connections. You should have a LAN or
high-speed connection. Right-mouse click on it and open
properties. These should match the settings from your ISP
(dynamic or static IP, etc.)
The second thing you want to check is on IE. Open
Tools/Options. Under Connections check that you have
selected Never dial a connection. Under LAN settings
probably you shouldn't use a proxy (although that depends
on the ISP)
Finally, you may need to configure the modem. I do not
have that type of modem, so you need to check the doc or
call linksys.
You may also want to call your ISP to help with the PC
configuration.
