O.k., I think I'm dumber than I thought..lol I'll try something and see if it works. Thanks for your immediate help...on a holiday at that! Awesome.

Thanks but I'm still confused....I can't connect the router to the modem because there is only one port and it's taken up by the internet service....do I need a splitter or something? Thanks Ken

I'm tryng to connect my Linksys 4 port router to my Motorola SB4200 SURFboard. My problem is I can't get past step one. It says to connect the ethernet cable to the modem. Well, my modem only has one...
