I assume you are not trying to use the modem and the router at the same time, and that you are connecting it to the same point as the modem.
Have you entered the user name and password provided by your isp into the router? The ones in your pc are only for modem operation, you have to enter them in the router since it takes over full control of the adsl line. Also, I do not mean the root/1234 user/password that you enter at the start of the http configurator, that's just to get access to the router itself.
Have you run the router diagnostics? They nearly all have them, if you let us know how far they get in the diagnostics someone can probably tell you what is wrong. At the very least we need a screenshot of the quick status program.
If you can't get it working any other way, you could just use the router as a switch and use ICS via the pc/modem, but that would also require quite a bit of configuration of the router so I don't think it is worth considering until you've exhausted all the normal methods.
