Default connecting windows 98 desktop directly to router

i have a win 98 se desktop. i have cox high speed internet. for the past 6
months i have been directly plugged into the motorolla modem provided by cox

the router via ethernet, it doesnt get internet. also, when i unplug the
router and just have my old win 98 desktop plugged direclty into the modem,
like before, it wont work. my laptop gets internt fine whatever way i do it,
via ethernet wiht modem, ethernet with router, or wireless. how can i get my

Some cable modems have to be reset when you move them from one device
(computer or router) to another. Unplug the power from your cable
modem, wait a few seconds, plug it back in, and see if that makes
everything work.
