OK, it won't detect anything on the Internet/WAN port because you have
disconnected the modem.

That modem is actually an ADSL router, which complicates matters.
Sometimes things don't get on too well with two routers connected in
series. Still, we can get to that later. With the ADSL router connected
to the WAN port of the Netgear router, you should get the activity
lights on both devices flickering away, and the ADSL router should give
the Netgear router a WAN IP address.

Do you have any other links to click on in the web page of the Netgear
router?

Hi Daniele,

Tried the other link (at the bottom of the page!) and after a minute of
thinking it took me to the setup page of the router. Hurrah! But alas,
despite me entering all the settings (well, most of them were
automatically 'discovered') I still cannot connect. Also discovered
upon restarting the computer, the wireless card could now 'see' the
router. My iBook as well as the iMac have the green light on system
prefs -> network for seeing airport and connecting to the network --
but both are seemingly unable to connect to the internet via this
netgear router. What settigns could be wrong?

Normally, you wouldn't need to enter any settings. However, can you find
a page (status page?) where the router says what its
external/WAN/Internet IP address is?

I suspect that the Netgear router and the ADSL router aren't getiing on
too well.
