Most modern hubs/routers will automatically detect crossed/straight cables and behave accordingly.
However, best way is (as you have done) to use straight cables for each PC on the network. (I have a crossed going from my modem to my hub, the rest are straight).
If the lights aren't showing I can only presume that the electronic connection is not being established, so i'd blame the cable.
Do you have any pre-made cables you can try?

I have to agree.
You need to establish a local connection between your computer and your modem. Then, a connection with your ISP. After that, incorporate the router, and establish a local connection to it

At the password prompt, leave username blank, password = admin. Once all these things are done, you should only need to connect the other PC to the router and configure windows and its firewall. Damn, you should call your ISP, they are in a better position to help. Atleast they can tell you if they see your modem or not.
Also, a handy thing to know is at the run prompt type, cmd at command prompt type,
ipconfig /all
ipconfig /help
I've dazzled many a disgruntled user with a simple
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
