How to I configure a Cisco 1801 router to work with a shaw modem

Hello all,
I hope someone will be able to help me out with this issue. I'm trying to connect a Cisco 1801 router to a Shaw modem at home, but I'm having difficulty grabbing the Shaw IP address.  This is the configuration I currently have.
Hardware: Shaw modem, NetGear FWG114P router, Linksys WRT350N router and last but not least Cisco 1801 router.
Setup: Shaw's ISP service plans allow you to have 2 IP addresses (dynamic).  I connected the Shaw modem to the NetGear router's LAN1 port (using this router as a switch), LAN2 of the NetGear goes to WAN of Linksys WRT350N (used for network in upper part of house... currently works fine) and LAN3 of NetGear goes to Cisco 1801 (used for network in basement).  The internet connectivity upstairs works fine at the moment; both wired and wireless connectivity is perfect.  On the other hand, the internet connectivity downstairs is non-existent while plugged into the Cisco 1801 (The LAN connectivity works fine.  All PCs get an address from the router).  It doesn't even seem to try to pull an address.  When I use 'sh int f0' it says 'the ip address will be negotiated using dhcp', but it never happens.  I disconnected the line from the router and connect it directly to a pc and I was online right away.  Could someone please help me out with this?  I've been going it at for almost a week now.  Any help is highly appreciated.  I have attached the router config below.  Thank you.

Hello Kdearing and Irmoore,
I've tried both your suggestions, but nothing has changed.  After making the above changes, I tried to write the changes to mem (copy run start) and received this error msg.

I have modified the config as follows, but still no change.

- Added static Address to F0 interface
 interface FastEthernet0
 no ip dhcp client hostname xxxxxx  <= dhcp server probably not expecting this
 no ip dhcp client lease 365 0 0       <= this is provided by the server
 no ip dhcp client update dns          <= not necessary
 no ip address dhcp
 ip address xx.xx.xx.xx 255.255.252.0
 ip nat outside
 ip virtual-reassembly
 speed auto
 full-duplex  <== set to auto

- Removed RIP route
 no router rip
 ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 f0

- Added access-list
 access-list 1 permit any
 ip nat inside source list 1 interface f0 overload

- Removed dialer-list
 no dialer-list 1 protocol ip permit

Is there anything specific that I need to do in order to force the router to take the static address?  Like I said before, I plugged the cable directly into another PC and was able to get an address immediately.

I really appreciate any help you guys can offer me.
Thank you!!!
The issue has been resolved through the following steps.
1. Erase all configurations from the router using the 'wri erase' command.
2. Reconfigured the router with the same config as above.
3. Contact my ISP (i.e. Shaw) and had them re-provision my modem.  Everything was online within 5 minutes.

Thank you Kdearing and Irmoore for trying to help me out with this issue.
