Is the ethernet card listed in your device mgr as installed properly?(ie, no Yellow exclamation point next to it).
It really shouldn't be that difficult, I'm not sure what is wrong. Unless something is wrong with the Ethernet card. I don't have a lot of networking experience, but when I originally set up 3 PC's and an XBox on my Netgear ProSafe, it was no problem. All the computers went online as soon as I connected the ethernet cable. Now it only consists of 2 Pc's and the X-Box, and still runs fine. Granted, all 3 of the PC's were fairly modern, so that might have had something to do with it.
Can you log in to the router from the old PC? Reference your instructions on how to do that.
