cable modem pc activity lite does not go on,when coonected to a WRTG54G v 2.2 linksys router as it does wtih my other router. Yet when linsiys router is on my laptop picks up a strong signal from the router but no acivity, i think the rj45 female plug in the linksys may be broken.
this is because your PC is picking up the WRTG54G which is an internal signal booster (internal gateway) to the ROUTER ITSELF.
WRTG54G is in the middle like an interpreter.
The WRTG54G is not connect to ROUTER>
thus the laptop is not connected, like sprinkler attached to the end of a hose but the HOSE not attached to the water faucet.
turn OFF laptop. RESET WRTG54G (there is a small hole you can stick a pencil in there and hold down for 15 long seconds; UNPLUG power.
PLUB back in and hit auto config button.
let WRT54G pick up a new IP ADDRESS from router. once that is done turn on laptop and it should pick up a new signal with new IP address assigned to it by the WRTG54G.

I am trying to connect my Xbox 360 directly to my 2wire homeportal 1100 modem/HPNA device.
I connected an ethernet cable into the Xbox, and then into the ethernet port of the 2wire homeportal.
90% of the time my Xbox will not pass the IP test.
One time I was able to pass the IP and DNS tests only to fail the MTU test.
I have tried power cycling and opening ports.
Thank you
