Give yourself an IP address similar to that of your modem/router - ie if the modem/router is 10.0.0.138 then award yourself 10.0.0.1 or similar. Likewise the gateway box, click on advanced settings, needs to be that of the router/modem. Probably also you can use this instead of the DNS settings as picking up the DNS server will be done automatically (don't know if it's the router that does this or the ISP, eclipse in this instance). This works for me.
