What cable should I used to connect my computer to a cable modem?

You should be using a standard Cat5 Ethernet cable between the router and the cable modem. However, there is one specific port on your router that the cable must be attached to. Usually that port will be marked in some way. It will have "uplink" printed above it, be a different color, be slightly separated from the others, etc

Gee ya think (on the cable part, seeing Cat5 or Cat5e is the cable thats commonly shipped with a Router or Modem when purchased)... & usually its labeled as WAN for Wide Area Network.
