I was able to access the router and the net a couple nights ago, but yesterday when I started up my main computor, it was not able to access the net.

Network connection shows "Acquiring network address" and 0 packets sent or received in the activity portion. Connection status list Invalid IP address and an ip address of 0.0.0.0. Repair can not renew IP address

IP config /all lists

So far I have changed out ethernet cards to a new one, changed router ports and cables. rebooted router and ADSL Modem several times. I can access the router and the net through my other 2 computers without difficulty. I have tried to access the router through 192.168.1.1 and get a page cannot be displayed error. I am using a P3 1Ghz, Windows XP Pro SP2, Linksys BEFSR41 router and D-link ADSL modem. I am out of ideas, anyone else who can helpwould be appreciated.
 
That fixed it, Thank you. Had to delete and reinstall Winsock and TCP/IP. Back on line again!
