You should first get the connection working (connect the desktop to the linksys router with ethernet cable). Once you get that working is time to work on the wireless part.

Since most systems in the U.S. don't actually require you clone the MAC address, I would suggest that before trying to do that, that you simply reset the network when you change the connection to the cable modem between a computer and a router. To do this, turn everything off, wait 5 minutes, turn on the modem first, wait a few more minutes, then turn on the device that is now connected to the modem (either the router or a computer), then, if you are connecting throught the router, turn on the computers that are connecting through the router.
