Having problems with setting up a wired internet connection through a router.

[kogo50]

My mom just bought a netgear router for a new computer she bought. The problem isn't with thew new computer but with my computer running Ubuntu. The problem is that I'm having trouble getting the Internet to work. Before the router I just plug my PC straight into the modem but now with the router I can't get on the Internet. I can get a connection to the router but no Internet. I know the it is not the router because I use my PS3 and it worked fine. I spend like an hour just trying to get the connection but can't figure out the Internet problem. What I did to get the connection is copy the ip address, Mac, and etc. from the PS3. Then I made a new connection and put the data in the IPV4 settings and it got a connection but I'm not sure if I did that right or just got lucky. Can anyone tell me how to properly get my Internet to work?

you aren't using mac address cloning on the router are you?

it should be pretty simple, just plug and play should work by default for all wired connections, just need to restart modem after connecting it to router
