Ok I'll try to explain, we don't know if you have your router set to assign 
your computer a dynamic IP or a static IP. So this means if you had your 
computer set to a static IP, then, when you connect your computer directly to 
the modem, your modem is trying to assign your computer a dynamic IP and it 
can't do so, because your NIC is only set to a certain IP for your network 
which is a static IP.

For instance I have 4 computers on my network, I configured each of the NIC's 
on my computers to have a static IP 192.168.2.2, 192.168.2.3, 192.168.2.4 and 
192.168.2.5. Ok now given this info, the computer 192.168.2.3 is a wireless 
computer, If I were ever to take that computer and hook it directly to my DSL 
modem, it wouldn't work, because I have it set to a static IP. In order to be 
able to make this computer work with a direct connection to my DSL modem, I 
would have to set my NIC on that computer to receive a dynamic IP.

Did that help?

I understand. But I've pleaded with you to get the basics down first before 
venturing into stuff like this.

I hope this helps clear some of the confusion up for you.
