Router to router issues...

Hi! I've been trying to figrue this out for awhile and I just can't seem to get it... I have a Zhone ASDL2+ (model 6211-I2) modem/router(?) and a Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router.

The problem is that unless I directly connect to the modem, I can't access the internet. I can connect to the wireless router just fine though... however, if I try to combine the two by putting a cable from the modem to the "internet" switch thing on the wireless router, I can still connect wirelessly to the modem, but I can't connect to the internet.

I've tried several different cables and reset both the modem/router and the wireless router many times as well. I've never had this problem before =/

Please help!

Thanks,
Josh

 

i downloaded a quick setup guide for that thing and it seems pretty straight forward. it doesn't say anything about using crossover/rollover cables so i'm assuming u would use a str8 thru cable.

Installation
1 Connect your ADSL line to the port labeled LINE on the rear
panel of the device.
2 For routers with a phone port, optionally connect your
telephone to the port labeled PHONE.
3 Connect your PC or a LAN:
— Use the supplied Ethernet cable to connect your PC
directly to the router. Connect one end of the Ethernet
cable to the port labeled LAN on the router and connect
the other end to the Ethernet port of your computer.
— Alternatively, use the supplied USB cable to connect your
PC directly to the router. Connect one end of the USB
cable to the port labeled USB on the router and connect the
other end to a free USB port on your PC. Install the USB
drivers as described in the user’s guide on the CD.
— If your LAN has more than one computer, you can attach
one end of an Ethernet cable to a hub or a switch and the
other to the LAN port of the router. Either a crossover or
straight-through Ethernet cable can be used.
4 Connect the AC power adapter to the POWER connector on
the back of the device and plug the adapter into a wall outlet or
power strip.
