Similar problems

My problem is similar---I can't get internet access through the Linksys DSL router (but the home network works fine). If I plug one of the PCs directly to the DSL modem, I have internet access (but no home network). I'm really stuck with this. It was working fine until yesterday and then it all went down the toilet. Both the router and the modem work properly individually, but not together.
