Linksys WRT54GS Wireless Router can't connect to cable modem

Tags: linksys, router, comcast, wireless, modem
I am working on  cable modem setup back from the @Home days.
There is an old linkys router attached to the Cable Modem (RCA Digital Cable Modem) connected to an older 4port linkys hub and everthing works just fine.  However I need to setup wireless so I bought the Linksys  WRT54GS.

When I connect it to the cable modem nothing works. I have gone in there and clone the IP as instructed on linksys website. NO LUCK!  Now here's the tricky part.  I don't have the login password to the old hub to look at the configuration.   Do I need a user name and password just line in DSL to use PPOE?

I don't want to reset the old hub as I may lose the configuration on it. I have called Comcast and asked them for the username and password of the user and they say that there is no need for one.

The work order of the cable modem setup goes back to 2000 and on it there is a public IP which comcast now claims is not been used.

how can make this work?  it is becoming a desparate issues.

Please help ASAP!
thanks,
Juan
