Netgear router and cable internet weird situation

Here is my situation. I have a cable modem, motorola surfboard 5700 i
think, and a netgear router. Heres my problem if i connect the cable
modem diffectly i have no problems. However if i try to connect
through the router i get no internet connection. We i get limited
connection of sorts, i can still play counter strike, an online game,
with some packet loss when the router is hooked up, but i can visit
websites, receive email etc. Now when the router is hooked up the two
laptops i have connecting wirelessly work fine. They are both running
windows xp, my desktop that is hard wired and doesnt work when the
router is used is running windows 2000 family server. Im baffled.
Any idea
would be great seems like everything i try gives the same result.
Also not that it matters i can hook up my playstation 2 or 3 and play
games online through the router. Its most likely a problem somewhere
in the windows setup of some kind im assuming since the wired
connection also works fine on my laptops running XP.

THanks

James can you please go through and proof read your message?

>connect the cable modem diffectly

I don't know that last word...

If you can run the game, and visit web sites, and receive mail, what
*doesn't* work?

Also include the exact model numbers for the equipment. That will be
very useful. Copy these directly from the equipment.

Ok sorry for the violent post post that made no sense but here is my
situation
home setup

metrocast cable internet w/ motrola surfboard modem
hooked to a netgear WGT624 router
---NETGEAR router hardwired to Desktop PC Running windows 2000
---Connected to wirelessly by my two laptops running windows xp
---on occasion connected to by my playstation 2 or playstation 3

Problem::
When the router is connected to the cable modem
1. I have full connectivity on both laptops
2. I can play games online with each of my playstations
3. I can play games within direct x on my Desktop

BUT
I can not access the internet with the desktop when it is
hard wired to the router.

If i hard wire one of my laptops to the router they work
fine. This is why i assume its an issue with windows 2000

***also if i bypass the router and just connect my cable modem
directly to my desktop my connection works fine. flawlessly accually

hope that clears up my problem. No connectivity for my desktop when
router is connected, however there is connectivity to any other pc or
device

I, too, am getting what seem to be conflicting indications from my
Netgear router (Model: MR814v2 Cable/DSL Wireless router) after at least
two years of flawless service. I have 5 computers that were connecting
to the net thru this router -- two Dell laptops (XPHome and XPPro OSs),
one Dell desktop (XPHome OS) and two desktops I put together myself
(Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6). One day recently my wife (on the
laptop with XPHome) told me she'd lost net connections so I tried the
usual fixes (first, I powercycled the system with no change and, second,
I reset the router to factory defaults, reset security, but regained
only "limited connectivity" on her laptop.
I've tried configuring her laptop's wireless set-up with both the
Dell Utility (the utility used when the machine arrived from Dell) and
with Windows but cannot get more than "limited Connectivity". However,
if I connect this laptop to the net by cable the access is normal and at
full strength.
Thinking the problewm might be a bad wireless card in her machine,
I tried using a Netgear 802.11b (16-bit PCMCIA Model MA401) wireless
card but again got only "limited conncetivity" so that seemd to rule out
the "bad card" idea.
When I check "connection status" inside the router, it appears that
the router is either capturing the wrong IP from the laptop or not
capturing any IP from the laptop (the former after a router
"reset-to-factory" and the latter from time to time). However, it is
capturing the correct IPs from the other machines in use. The would seem
to suggest the router is the culprit except that I am presently
connected to the net and this newsgrouo (by cable) on the Dell XPHome
desktop.
I can't see the common thread in any of this other than that
"wireless operation" is the problem on this particular laptop (the other
laptop works fine in wireless mode) and am pretty much at a dead-end for
what to try next for a fix. Any suggestions?

does you isp require you to register on a dns server
if so make sure in the in the network proporties menu
under
internet protocol(TCP/IP) setting
register this connection with DNS is checked
...
also have you tried ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew within the
command prompt

-run
-"cmd"
="ipconfig /release"
wait
="ipconfig /renew"
