you still need to adjust the settings on the main page of your router. if you're isp gave you a dynamic ip, then make the changes accordingly. if you're isp gave you a static ip, then you must pull down the drop box on the 'connection type' on the router page and set to 'static ip' and fill in the blanks that are highlighted, ie WAN IP, gateway, subnet, DNS. although you've set these on your computer, they are for LAN side (local area), while the ones on the router are WAN side (wide area, internet). since you can access your router, your router-pc connection is fine. now you need to fix the connection between your router and the server of your isp. if you want, i can get some screen shots taken to show you.

even if you were to get a wireless router, you still need to supply these settings. and one more thing. try a power cycle now that your connection to the router is ok.

unplug everything, modem, router and shut down your computer. turn on the modem, wait for the lights to finish blinking (sync-ing), then when it's done, turn on your router, wait for it to sync as well, then turn on your computer. if your isp has a dynamic ip for you, this fixes it the majority of the time.

good luck
