Help!!

I have dsl thru verizon who sent me a westell 6100 modem. I purchased a wrt54g linksys router and have installed the firmware on the website from linksys. however i still cannot connect to the internet thru the router. i'll be glad to provide any information to help someone with my cause.........I'm on AOL Secure 9.0 , compaq computer running widows xp, hp pavillion running xp. The pavillion detects the wireless network and can access some of the network folders, but no internet. Also, should my router show up as a device on the host computer, the compaq? I can't find it in the device manager.

Click start, all programmes, accessories, system tools to run disc clean up, then from system tools, run disc defragmenter.

Click start then run, type sfc /scannow then press enter, you need the XP CD and Windows File Protection will show a blue onscreen progress bar, when the bar goes, reboot

Click start then run, type chkdsk /f /r then press enter, type Y to confirm for next boot, press enter then reboot.

Windows will appear to load normally then either the monitor will show progress or the screen will go blank, do not disturb this.

This will take an hour or so before it gets to the desktop.
