    just because you havn't heard of it doesnt mean its not a problem.

    broadband providers assign your ip to your computers network card via mac address. the mac address is specific to the network card. when you put the router between the modem and the computers network card, it cant figure out what to assign the ip to, so it doesnt connect. you have 2 options, 1 is to call your isp and get them to reset your connection, if they dont know what your talking about, they're lying or incompetant. the other option is to input the mac address into your router, if it allows it, i think its call mac address cloning or something on alot of models, most will let you, you do it via the software, usually by connecting to 192.168.1.1 (at least for linksys and a few others, not sure about apple) read the manual, the equipment is fine, i think the problem is a defective user. ;)
