setup linksys router to network Closed

Question

Hello,
I had to reload the o/s onto my laptop, Dell Latitude d530, and when I did I lost my network connection.  I am using a Linksys WRT54G V8 and am unable to get it to work.  When I select this network it searches for it and displays "acquiring network address" and goes no farther.  Then sometimes it will pop up at the bottom a message saying something about unable to find certiificate to connect to network.  Can someone please help me in being able to get this set up.  I have 2 PC's that are hooked up to the router with cables, not wireless, and they are working fine.  I am using Comcast as my internet service.  If you need any other information please let me know.

hi,
Since you have no problem when you are directly connected  to the modem, i think you should try 
cloning your computer's MAC address on the router.
