Want to connect wrt54g to cable modem

Question

I have a wrt54g v5, with firmware 1.02.5.  I want to use my comcast cable modem.  I found the walkthru on doing the mac clone.  I did that, then the power cycling, then upgraded to the firmware version i listed.  Still can't get it to work.  When i go into the status of the router, my IP and subnet are still all zeros.  Help!
