My network only consists of two computers running 2000 profesionnal. Everything worked fine until I screwed up the network when I accidentally unistalled my network driver. I have restored it back to the point that I can share files in both directions, and my printer sharing works, but my client cannot access the internet.I have a DHCP 1007 error in my event viewer on my client computer. It says: Your computer has automatically configured the IP address for the network card with network address 0060971497B7. The IP address being used is 169.254.38.127. I tried ipconfig/release and ipconfig/renew with no luck. Any ideas to correct this.

Are you using ICS, with the other computer the ICS host? It sounds like it is also using an APIA address, as this would permit LAN connectivity but not internet connectivity.
The ICS Host computer should have ICS enabled, and must have an IP of 192.168.0.1
It appears that the problem is with the ICS host machine, and not necessarily the ICS client.

The ICS Host cannot use an APIA IP such as 169.254.194.98, something is wrong with the host.
Use the Help and Support ICS troubleshooter, as explained here:

Thank's for heading me in the right direction bcastner. After reading the knowledge base info, I disabled ICS on my host and unistalled TCP/IP. Then I reinstalled TCP/IP and enabled ICS once again. After enabling ICS my host IP address was reset to 192.168.0.1. and everything is working properly again.
