Hello,
I'm hoping someone can help me with this issue. I'm running Windows XP with a SpeedStream 3060 DSL Modem. I decided I wanted to add a LinkSys Router to connect to a second PC. After installing the Router I realized that it wouldn't work for what I was trying to do (that's another story all together). The problem came after I uninstalled the LinkSys Router and reinstalled the DSL Modem. The modem installed properly (or so it seemed) but I can't connect to the internet. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

DSL usually requires PPoE. The Linksys routers can be set to enable PPoE. If you uninstalled the router and reinstalled the DSL Modem, did you also re-install the PPoE client software?

Anna is right, another thing to also check would be the router itself. there should be a way to communicate with the router itself to see what has been turned off and what is turned on. Check to see if it is blocking your traffic.

I guess I wasn't clear on the original message. The router is no longer installed. No settings were ever configured on the router other then the basic installation.

What Ip are you pulling ... if you have removed the Router than you should be pulling a valid IP.
The router is external, so there should have been no installing to it.

try this:
First ensure your Nic is installed proplerly with XP drivers ( or 2000 if XP is not available)
Then:
Go to Start Menu -> RUN
Type "command" click OK
In the new window that pops up type this "NETSH INTERFACE IP RESET LOG.TXT"
(less quotes), then press enter.
When it's finished, type IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS

and restart.

Take the Router back. If all you want to do is split up your connection so that other pc's can connect to the internet, go to http://www.analogx.com
click on software>network> you will see a list of tools, download Proxy, follow the simple instructions and in about fifteen minutes, voila, internet on as many machines as you want. As long as you put proxy on each machine and point it to the machine that has internet. As far as the PPOE software, you should un-install it and re-install, if you have any problems with this call your ISP for assistance.
