I just got a Linksys Wireless-G router, Model number BEFW11S4 ver. 3, and was setting it up. I reset the settings and got the network working but if I try to use the internet I get the "not connected to internet page". I can access the routers settings through wireless without actually being plugged in so I don't think that's the problem. After running the connection diagnostics wizard it simply told me to contact my isp. I checked the log and it looked like it was a dns error. Any ideas?

Do you use cable or DSL? Does your ISP require a username and password?

Edit:
I have dsl that runs to a switch that splits it off to 4 computers and I'm trying to connect the wireless through one of the cords that went from the switch to the computer. Could that be the problem?
Let me make sure I understand this correctly.
DSL line comes in the house from outside and plugs in to the DSL modem. The DSL modem plugs in to a 4 port switch. The 4 port switch connects 3 PCs and then goes to the modem port on the router?
Is this correct?
Edit #2: Are any of the other computers on this network having issue accessing the internet?

Typically, switches are not DHCP servers. Have you statically set the IP for the router? Are the computers connected to the switch have static IPs?
Who set up this network?

What are you using for a DHCP server? Are you you sure that you are using a hub?

Try to statically set the IP address of the router.
Run ipconfig on one of the computers connected to the hub.
The default gateway address of the computer needs to be the same in the router. The IP address can generally be anything in the same subnet.
This means that if the default gateway address is say 192.168.1.1 then you would want to assign the router an address of something like 192.168.1.72. The last ocet defines the node or device in a class C network.
And back to this question, who set up this network?
