For a coup[le of years, at a friends, we had a wireless router 
connected between the modem and the computer, this allowing me to  send 
and receive things wirelessly on my laptop and my friend to send and 
receive things non-wirelessly on a desktop computer. Ethernet cables 
connected the wireless router to the modem and to the computer.

A few days ago my friend had the service replaced and in doing so a 
technician replaced the modem and left the wireless router out of the 
loop. When I replaced the wireless router again between the modem and 
the computer I could send and receive wirelessly from my computer but 
my friend's computer could do neither. The connections were made using 
the same ethernet cables that had been used before. Removing the 
wireless router from between the modem and the computer restored the 
ability for my friend to send and receive.

A number of attempts were made trying to insert the wireless router 
without success. This included powering down for a few minutes and then 
powering up the modem, the wireless router, and the computer.

So, I'd be interested in any suggestions as to how the wireless router 
can again be made to work and why it no longer works with the new modem.
