router won't connect to the internet

I'm not familiar with laptops and routers- we just have two PCs. The Linksys paper says "The PC should be connected to the ports numbered 1-4 on the router, and the modem must be connected to the Internet port on the router." Like Alex said, it's hard to imagine the set-up you have going- all I can do is tell you what we have done and what our manual says.
