cannot connect to the internet

    Having a strange problem with my internet. as in I can't connect to it. it's coming in via a upc box. my housemate had it all set up in his room before so I don't know what's changed, but I reckon he had a router in there, as it was wireless before.

    so now I have a modem, and some cables. have the modem powered up, the wire from the modem to the wall jack, and the network cable into my laptop. the little monitor icon appears but with a warning symbol. i've tried all sorts of combinations, but what i've ended up with is what is in the upc manual for use with just a modem. i know it's something simple but I can't get it. any suggestions as to what to try next?

    Those UPC routers (I'm assuming it's the black Cisco box) are annoying to deal with.

    You've tried restarting it?
    You're getting a 192.168.xxx.xxx address?

    Is it just you who can't connect to the internet or is it down for everybody else in the house?
