I recently disconnected all of my computer wires, including all connections, assuming I knew how to re-connect after my cleaning spree. How wrong I was!! I have a Dell Laptop, Netopia Modem, Linksys Router & DSL, and 5 hours of failed attempts in getting it right. PLEASE HELP!!!

The best way to see if all is still working is to switch on the laptop, wait for it to boot up properly.
Now connect the modem, the laptop should pick up as new hardware. If not, go to my computer and test the drivers installed for the modem. The router should not have a problem, it seems that your laptop has dropped the drivers or the modem.
