Let's try this layout (ie directly connect the Modem->PC). If this makes a connection, Win/7 will prompt you to set the network type to {Home, Work, Public} = = USE PUBLIC.
Using a command prompt, you can verify the ability to resolve URLs into IP address using
nslookup google.com
This setup is required to work if your router has any chance of functioning at all.
