created a network yesterday. It was a breeze, but today my cable was not working through the router. What the hell happened? The cable works through just my computer but not the rest of the network. Any ideas????

Before u disconnected the cable modem from ur comp and put it into the router did u release ur IP?
If u didn't ur isp still thinks ur takin 1 IP and won't give u another, this happened to me when i set up my network. I couldn't get the router to get an IP from the net.
I called the tech suport and they said I had already clamed 1, but the guy figured it out, and told me I had to release it. First time a tech suport guy was accually worth something :P

That might be the problem if ur routers not gettin an external IP...
Hope that helps...
