Unhappy Need help setting up Cisco ADSL Router

Last week I bought a Cisco SB107 ADSL modem/router to use at home. Being Cisco it's very full of cool features, but it's also an utter nightmare to configure (since I have almost no Ciscon knowledge yet) - being totally manual to configure.

I've got it to connect to my ISP via ADSL, and it seems to authenticate passwords ok, and talk to their DHCP servers ok - but then things go wrong.

When I run a link test I get the following:

Test Activity Summary
Checking interface status... Up
Checking for DNS settings... Successful
Checking interface IP address.. Successful
Checking exit interface... Failed

And it gives me the following detailed info:

Checking exit interface... Failed
Exit interface found :None
Exit interface found :None
Exit interface found :None

And then makes the following useful suggestions:

Troubleshooting Results

Failure Reason(s)
No configured DNS server(s) are routable through the selected interface.

Recommended Action(s)
Select 'Enter IP address or hostname' option or add a 'host specific/network specific/default' route through this interface and retest connection.

It's not immediately obvious where I should make these changes, any suggestions?

Thanks

Anyone? Don't tell me I've stumped the mighty Scoobynet!

Oh well looks like I'll have to pass my CCNA before I can set my router up.
