WRT54G lost connection to Internet from Wired computer, but wireless still connect

I have the router hard wired to a desktop computer and have 2 other computers connecting wirelessly through it.  The hard wired computer suddenly could not connect to the internet, yet the 2 wireless computers still can.  The computer was 5 yrs. old and I had bought a new one, so thought it was the best time to set it up.  I have the same problem with the new computer.  The only way I could get access to the internet on it was to run a line from the USB port on the DSL modem directly to the computer.  I can still see the 2 other computers and their files through the router, just can't get the router to see the modem from the hard wired computer.  The 2 wireless computers can access the modem through the router, but the wired one can't!  According to Linksys the problem is with my ethernet/lan on the computer.(both computers?!)  According to the repair/diagnose on my lan connection, it says there is a problem with the router or modem.  Any suggestions?

I found the problem, the router is bad.  I bought a new router and installed it, made no changes to the computer hardware, and the new router worked fine with the ethernet connection for the hard wired computer.  I am really disappointed in the help that I received from linksys.  They kept insisting there was nothing wrong with the router and that the 2 computers I tried to hard wire to the router both had bad ethernet ports.  I will not be buying their products again.
