WRT54G - Internet connectivity failure - everything seems to work, but not online

I have a WRT54G V8 router, who is 18 months old. Its used by 3 laptops to connect to the Internet (Wi - Fi all). All 3 laptops unable to connect all of a sudden. Steps are taken to solve the problems, still no luck. Please suggest if something else can be done.

1. first test was to remove the router and connect a computer directly to the modem via a LAN comcast cable. Internet is available

2. I have hard reset the router and configured again. No luck

3. check the connectivity to the Internet through ports 1 to 4, no luck

4. I can see the available signal and connect to the network, but not internet connection. I see the cell as shown (all dynamic) IP address obtaining

5. I upgraded the firmaware to 8.0.6 version and and not set up once again, no luck (same as step 3 & 4)

6. removed the WEP security, does not

7 soft reset on the router (via the admin page reset to factory settings), no luck

LED status

Power - on and yellow

Cisco - on

WAN - SUITE

Internet - ON and flashing

Lights of port - when a laptop is CONNECTED

I see the excellent signal strength and all laptops can connect to the network, but cannot go online. Google chrome shows a message hosting "solve" until timeout. Laptops show a 192.168.1.XX IP address. 4 ports are also not connect to Internet (mobile one GETS IP address via the ports as well)

I have no other options left. I've seen a similar thread here (http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Wireless_Routers&message.id=2288), but no response. Please suggest what to do next.

Okey, I finally found the problem. His Modem.

Router is not able to get the IP address of the modem if the modem is started first and then I plug the internet cable to the router. But if I keep the router and modem connected and then reset the modem while keeping the router powered on, the router receives an IP address.

And in both cases, if I connect the laptop with the modem directly, computer laptop can connect to the Internet.

I bought a new router (WRT54G2) thinks that the problem is with the router, and I can reproduce the same behavior with both routers constantly.

Make sure you modem is Motorola surf.
