MN-100 router to DSL modem communication problem

After several months with no problems, today my MS Broadband 10/100 Wired
Base Station (MN-100) decided not to communicate with my DSL modem. I can
ping the router (192.168.0.1) and other PC's, so network appears ok. If I
connect the PC directly to the DSL modem, I can connect to the Internet, but
not going through the router. I have powered-on and off all devices and
rebooted several times. TCP/IP is set to obtain an IP address automatically;
same with DNS.

On one PC, I can use a VPN client+IE to get to the Internet.

Any ideas much appreciated.

If a full factory reset using a paper clip and the reset hole does
not fix this, it is time to throw out this discontinued old router
and purchase a new one.
