I hope this is an easy one for someone - Linksys haven't been any help at
all.

I've been using a DSL connection for a few months, unplugging it for the
wall when not in use (poor man's firewall).

I installed the above router and although I can access it from the PC I
can't connect to the outside world, even though the appropriate Link LEDs
light. I've installed new firmware from their site and I can release/renew
via the configuration tab and ping works fine. The LEDs on the DSL flicker
when IE is called but I can only connect as far as the router.

A friend tested the router OK on his cable modem. OS is ME on a P-3. Any
ideas?
