first of all, this isn't exactly a wireless question, but i couldn't
seem to find a more appropriate group to post this in.
it does, however, have to do with the linksys wrt54g wireless-g
router. i got it today and tried to set it up, but i couldn't get it
to connect to the internet. i tried various power cycles and MAC
cloning and things like that, but still nothing. i also read
somewhere that you could test the functionality of the WAN port on the
router by plugging an ethernet cable from the WAN port to one of the
switching ports, and if the WAN LED didn't light up, then the WAN port
was faulty. i did this and the WAN light didn't come on, so maybe
it's faulty.
basically, i just wanted to check to see if anyone knew of any other
methods i could try to get this thing to work, or if anyone knew for a
fact that the WAN port is faulty according to the test i did. want to
make sure that it's broken before i box it up and send it back, and
wait for a replacement.
thanks.

Old standard reply: "Did you RTFM?

Open the manual, and work through the config/troubleshooting.

Then come back. Seriously.
