Trouble connecting Linksys WRT54G wireless router

Hello,

I am having trouble connecting my Linksys WRT54G wireless-G router to
my Apple laptop. I have had the laptop connected to the same router
previously, but i now have a new carrier of my cable internet.

The laptop connects to the router, but every time I try to connect to
the internet it says " Not connected to the internet". Please help me,
and do not assume I know everything there is to know about how to clone
MAC whatevers.... I don't so please help me through it.

Thank you

I'm not an Apple expert, but I do have some experience with the WRT54G.

Are you certain you can connect to the router? To verify this connection, try to connect your
browser to 192.168.1.1. That is the default IP address for the WRT54G. If you changed it, use the
"orrect" address. You should see the router's home page.

Has your cable provider told you that you need to clone a particular MAC? If you had given some
details of your provider and the connection details, we wouldn't be shooting in the dark.If so, do
you know which MAC to provide? When you do, log into the router and select the "MAC Address Clone"
tab. Select the Enable button and enter the 6 numbers into the boxes, or press the "Clone your PC's
MAC", whichever is desired.
