I see some questions, but don't know the impact on your problem:
1. where are addresses 0.3 and 0.4. Your active IP's are 0.5 and 0.6.
2. are you required to specify the DNS by your DSL? What happens if you
let DHCP handle everything? Obviously you are not getting name
resolution with google.
3. what kind of ethernet cable between the router and AP is required? I
think it should be straight throught, but you could test by connecting
to the LAN port (if there is one) on the router, just to see what
happens.
4. If this is XP, try disabling 802.11x authentication in advanced props
for the wireless connection. You can also disable the Wireless Zero
Configuration in services, although this seems to be working for the
most part for most people.
5. If the wireless are WPA enabled and you have downloaded Q815485 WPA,
encryption might be *required*. Check your documention for this.
6. Has the router been a part of your system prior to this effort? If
not, are you required to register the gateway MAC address with your
provider? If so, you might clone whatever MAC address you formerly used
in the router to bypass the registration.
7. Have you power-cycled the modem? This is necessary for cable modems
to find the current gateway MAC if it is new, DSL might be different.
8. Is bluepumpkin your actual ISP? If you have a major ISP, you can get
DSL/router/wireless advice specific to your ISP at
