I have a Comcast DSL modem, which connects me to the internet, and a 2Wire wireless gateway, from my old SBC account. I was just wondering if I cold use the 2Wire as a wireless router and connect it to the Comcast modem. I tried it but I can't make it work. Can anyone help me??

reset the router using the button on the back to return the device to it's original settings.
hold it on for 10-15sec, the router will restart.
you may need the router to mimic your pc MAC address;
use run->cmd /k ipconfig /all to find it
wire the modem-->router on its WAN side and
wire the router-->system
use your browser to access the router by entering the detault router address.
we need your router make and model number to proceed further ----

Buy a new Router, don't waste time with that one unless you can get it to work. Connect the PC only to the router with patch cable
click on start
click on run
type: cmd
type: route print
At the end of route print you'll see the default Gateway for that route IP address you'll need to go into the 2Wire Router and configure it to use.
Still best bet is to go and buy a new router to play it safe, because SBC have everything jerry-rig
