    Have you set the Linksys to get an IP by DHCP from the modem, or set it statically?

    What type of internet connection do you have? You mention a poe which is usually used to power antenna so you either have an Irish Broadband, ICE Broadband or Digiweb connection...

    Not sure about the last two but I know for definate that Irish Broadband need static IP addresses to work properly.

    The router has it's own config page running. Just stick its IP into a browser.
