I believe that the problem you are having is that you have not set up a route on your wireless router that basically says that it should forward all internet traffic it gets to the adsl modem gateway...also make sure that you have changed in your nic its default gateway to match your wireless router.

In other words....you must point the traffic in the direction so that it can get out of your network.

please let me know what type of cat5 cables(straight?cross) needed to connect between dsl to router and from router to computer nic
tahnks

it sounds obvious to me you have setup your router incorrectly. without seeing what you have done we are just taking very wild guesses. a linksys router will usually detect and automatic adjust itself if you use a striaght or crossover cable so it should not matter. but normally you will want to use straight cable.

is it so that the router function of my dsl modem is in conflict with my wireless g broadband router
