Motorola wireless router problem

I have adelphia cable with one of them surfboard modems, i bought a motorola
wireless router. I can connect wired computers no problem, but the wireless
get to see the network and log in but don't get internet. since the cable
modem signs in automatically i don't plug it on the wan "hole", i plug it on
one of the Lan ones and like i said it works for the wired computer. One
thing i noticed when i have internet connection on the wired computer, i
cannot access the web based setup of the router. And if i have access to the
web based setup i don't have internet.What
do i need to do to make the wireless work?

The hole is called a *port*. ;-)

The computer doesn't have an IP from the router that's going to allow the
computer to access the router's admin screens.

What's the IP the computer has when you enter IPconfig /all at the DOS
Command Prompt.

Again what is the IP the machine has using IPconfig /all.

Did you read the manual for the wireless card and router?

Did you call the router's tech support and asked for assistance with the
setup?

You need to plug the router into the cable modem using the WAN port.
This will put it into a configuration that lets the router "route" the
data from the internet to all the computers on the wireless and LAN. If
you plug the cable modem into the lan it is acting only as a switch and
DHCP server. It won't route the internet to the wireless clients, and
only the first LAN client will be connected to the internet (as the
direct connection to the cable modem.
