Most routers have up to 4 connection points (or ports) for the connection of network cables. I presume your Belkin wireless router is your access point and your modem provides the access to your adsl account. Connecting a network cable to the router should give you an internet connection providing you have made the correct connection settings in internet explorer. Right click on the internet explorer icon on your desktop. A dialogue box with several options will appear, select 'properties'. When the next dialogue box appears click on the 'connections' tab. Theres should be a number of options available. Ensure that 'never dial a connection' is selected. Go to the 'LAN settings' option and untick 'Automatically detect settings'. Close all the dialogue boxes and try and connect to the internet. It is possible you might have to check your TCP/IP settings but generally speaking the above should enable you to connect. Other settings are mainly for establishing connections with other computers. Hope this helps. Reply for further advice/assistance
