do not use that cd at all, hide it somewhere

with power off on everything
connect the cabel modem to the cable, turn on power, wait for the link light.

connect the modem to the wan port of the router, power up the router, wait for the link light to light up.

connect nic to the router switch port, power up computer. look for link light on nic to light up and on the router switch.

if you have it set to get ip address automaticaly you should now be on internet.
