I know this isnt a programming question but who better to ask than people that write software for networks?!

I don't like being behind a router so I have my DSL modem hooked to my on-board eth0 and my router (WAN hookup) hooked to a PCI eth1, I ran the windows network wizard and all looks good on my PC (router obtained an IP), but when I connect to the router on my lappy and log into the router it infact hasnt obtained an IP thus it cant give my lappy the internet...

What am I over looking?
