You can connect only one computer to the modem at one time if it is a pure DSL modem. You need a router to connect more computers.
You need to have phone jack->modem->router->computer wireless or wired. Is broadcast SSID on or off? Just make sure you are accessing your own home network. Try to reboot your modem and router. If you are entering correct password for your SSID on your network card, it should work.
Did you enter any manual settings in TCP-IP under network connections?

Thank you. I meant wiring one computer at a time to check for anamolies. I don't have a network router.
SSID is on. I am accessing my home network and I know that since I have given a name rather than the "linksys" generic name. I rebooted all of them and tried, but to no avail.
I did not enter any manual settings in TCP-IP. Should I?
Thanks again.

It sounds more likly between Primus Modem & Linksys.
Here is what I would do to confirm same ...
Connect everything the way you desire to (Modem>Linksys>Laptops). You said, communication seems to be fine between Laptop & Linksys. See if laptops can ping each other.
(I can list steps if you want ... but I guess you would know - assumption is based on your explanation)
If Laptops can see each other you can surely say that its between Modem & Linksys.
Turn Off everything. And Switch back ON in the sequence starting from Primus Modem. Observe Lights on Primus Modem when you turn ON. Before turning Linksys, let the lights settle on Modem.
When you turn on Linksys - see if both Send & Receive flickers on Modem. again, Let the Lights settle on Modem ... now turn on your Laptop and observe lights again - but this time on both Modem & Linksys (Send/Receive on Modem).
And observe Send/Receive on Modem when you try to access some website.
It could be as simple as DNS Server.
Let me know if I dont make sense ...

Thank you. I will certainly try your suggestion. If you don't mind, could you list steps on how to ping the laptops? Thank you.

At Prompt Type ping 192.168.x.x & Hit Enter(IP Address of Home Laptop that you noted down earlier)
See if it replies ...
At Prompt Type ping 192.168.1.1 & Hit Enter
See if it replies
Come Back to Home Laptop & Follow same>
At Prompt Type ping 192.168.x.x & Hit Enter(IP Address of Work Laptop that you noted down earlier)
See if it replies ...
At Prompt Type ping 192.168.1.1 & Hit Enter
See if it replies
I'll put down some more steps to check DNS Server ...

Home Laptop>
Go to Command Prompt by "Start" --> "Run" --> Type cmd & Hit "OK"
At Prompt Type ipconfig /all & Hit Enter
Note Down the DNS Servers: x.x.x.x
At Prompt Type nslookup & Hit Enter
You probably will get
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds
At 'nslookup' prompt type server 4.2.2.2 & Hit Enter
> server 4.2.2.2
If your Internet Connection is alive then you;ll get
Default Server: vnsc-bak.sys.gtei.net

Can I ask a stupid question?
Is your Router hardwired to the Modem?
The wireless connection is only between the Router and the Computer. The connection netween the Modem and the Router is wired.
Experts, please correct me if I am wrong.
Good luck.
