Modem problems, can't connect to the internet?

I recently got internet from sudden link, they provided me with a modem, I just can't get onto the internet for some reason.

The power, receive, send and online lights are fully lit except for the pc/activity which keeps blinking when I plug it into my computer.

I called sudden link to register my modem and gave them my HFC MAC ID #, the tech told me to wait 15 minutes and try again, it didn't work.

I have a split coaxial connection also connecting to my TV for cable.

    The tB base rate may not be enuf juice when the TVs on the cable with the modem.

    Try taking TV off and only use modem--TV might be hoggin' all the power.
