M-700

I just baught an M-700 and I follow the instructions step
by step yet, the computer that I wire to the router
[computer 1] is not able to use the internet correctly.
During the setup it sets up the router and such but when
it trys to validate my internet connection it fails. I
have tried hooking my modem directly up to my computer and
it works fine [That's how I'm posting this right now.]. I
have tried reseting my modem and everything else. This
computer is using Windows XP and my laptop is using the
same. They are both 802.11g and nothing is working. Any
help would be appreciated. My contact information is
listed below. Thank you.

First off, I would like to say your customer service
sucks. I payed for my router now you want me to pay for
tech support? I must have forgot, this is Microsoft.
Sorry. The M-700 router has the worst signal ever. I went
out and exchanged it for a D-Link router and it works
perfectly, it took me 10 min to setup unlike this M-700.
Also, I thought setup would be a breeze, I mean..
Microsoft XP Pro, a Microsoft Router, and a laptop
running Microsoft XP Home.. but of course, no. Also the D-
Link router will work under Linux which I plan on
switching to. Microsoft has made too many errors with
it's operating systems and other such software. Must I
mention its security? msblast [aka dcom]? bagle? mydoom?
etc...
Guess I'm throwing Microsoft out the window.
Linux = way of the future.
