To help eliminate variables, try this:

1. Use a network cable and port in your router you *know* is working (i.e. plugged into a working computer)
2. Make sure your router has available DHCP addresses. If you are limiting the amount of addresses it assigns, this could be why you can't connect.
3. Ping your router IP (this will be the Gateway IP Address on a working computer) if you get nothing it _may_ be hardware related.
