Default Can't get new PC with Vista to connect to the Internet via cable

I just received my Dell E1505 laptop with Windows Vista and it works great,
except one thing: I can't get it to connect to the Internet via my cable
modem. I am running a cable from my PC to a Linksys router, which then leads
into the cable modem. When I run my Web browser all I get for Web sites is an
error messahge saying I'm not access the site and I can click on a button to
try again.

At the same time, I;ve been able to connect to the net via Wifi with no
trouble at all.

Any suggestions to fix so I can access the Web via wire?

Thanks!

I have exactly the opposite problem. I f I use the cable connection
everything works fine. \when I try the wireless approach I get only local
access. I have an INEXQ ADSL2+ Wireless Router, any suggestions?
