If it came with the modem then it should be the right one.

Yep.. Im sure its plugged into the correct port. Page 7 on that manual

"The internet port is where you connect your cable or dsl modem through an ethernet network cable."

Im using a standard cable (

"dialed into the router via browser" By dial I assume you aren't using a POTS modem, yes? Blending terms can make that confusing.
|
By "dialing into it" I mean typing the IP address of the wireless router into the browser address bar.

On the router's configuration page there should be an entry for the IP address it received from your ISP. Did it get one? Did it also get entries for DNS servers? Are they the same or similar entries as you would get in Windows when the DSL line is plugged straight into your computer (via ipconfig /all at the command line)?
On your PC, what happens if you ping www.google.com and ping 216.239.63.104? If you can ping the IP address, then it would be a DNS problem. Neither and you still aren't getting past the gateway.

I didnt get a entry for a recieved configuration from my ISP. I had to type everything in, so its exactly how they would be in windows with the dsl. On the wireless pc when I attempt to ping something it fails. 100% loss.

With XP the firewall may be on, check that first.
Next turn everything off and turn them back on in this order:
DSL Modem, Router and then the PCs.
Check your ip address form the PC, if it is coming in all zeros or in the 169 range try doing a renew from the PC.
Start there and see what happens.

Windows firewall was one of the first things I checked, its already been disabled. Ill try and turn things off and back on in that order then check the IP from the wireless computer - I'll post my results in a few minutes.
Thanks for the response guys
Edit : I just tried to turn things off and back on in that order. Still didnt help too much. Also I did an ipconfig /all on the wireless computer to see what what it was seeing.. everything is the way it should be except for the gateway which I cant seem to change. My ISP says it should be 192.168.1.1, which I have typed in the gateway box in the router configuration. However, when it comes up it shows 192.168.1.2.
