I don't think he has the router yet, and may be running into the mac address problem. Cable broadband internet registers the mac address of your PC and from then on will only recognize that PC and allow access. Once you get the router and call than and have them reset their end then you'll not have to mess with that either again because now it will be the mac address of the routers wan port which you will not have to change even as you add move and change PC's..
