Connecting To Xbox Live Through PC Connection

I connect to xbox live through my pc connection by use an etherent cable connected to my pc and the xbox. Which has been working extremely well.

But recently our internet went down due to some workers cutting a cord or something(we didnt know at the time). So we used the verizion in home agent thing to try and fix it, and it suggested we reset our router which we did.

Now when i try and connect to xbox live it says these things

"Can’t obtain an IP address from your router or modem

Your router or modem may not be automatically assiginging an IP address

On Your PC, go to your router configuration Web page. Make sure DHCP is enabled and has a large enough address range for all devices on the network

Also make sure that your routers MAC filtering allows your console MAC address or is diasbled"

"Can’t obtain an IP address from your router or modem

Your router may or modem may not be automatically assigning an IP address. You can try a static Ip address instead"

I dont understand what may have effected this once we reset the router.

What kind of router is it? Maker -   Will be Actiontec or Westell.

If you login as admin to the router - browser (IE etc.) address 192.168.1.1 user admin password password, password1 or serial number(on back of router) does the my router block on the first page say it's connected and give you an ip address?

#1 In the router go to Advanced -> IP Address Distribution.

#2 What is the DHCP Range of the router?

#3 Consider, changing the connection to bridge on your computer.

This means for example if on Windows XP, follow
