Windows Vista Internet Connection

My situation:

New HP Laptop PC with RealTek RTL8102E/8103E Family PCI-E FE NIC and
Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN adapter, connected to WRTP54G Linksys Router, to
Comcast cable modem.

PC will connect (local and internet) wireless, but will not find and
identify the router when hardwired. Can remove the router from the
equation and plug the cable modem in directly and Vista will find and
connect to internet.

Am able to ping the router, but no internet connection.

Please help!

Hi
Did you try to disable the Wireless and then connect with the wire?
Check the wire card's TCP/IP configuration and make sure that it is set to
Auto Obtain.
Check the Router's DHCP and see if there is allowance to few computers.

I finally quit messing with the auto DHCP stuff, went into the NIC and
assigned the IP address,e tc...works fine.
