NIC, Win2k and DSL

[wjs2]

Have a small home network, Windows NT, Windows 2000 pro and Windows XP pro. Everything seems to be working almost ok. Am also running dsl. The win2k box logs on to the internet, but, when the browser is started (IE 6.0, Netscape 4.75 or Opera 6.1) it cannot find anything. (I assign the IP addresses in the network.) At this point, signed on to the internet, if I go into network properties and reassign the IP address of this machine, the dsl works fine. Until the next time I boot the machine and have to go through the process again. I just have two IP addresses that I flip back and forth so it isn't just one address that is giving the problem. The Windows 2000 box is the only machine on the network that has this problem.

Any thoughts on what causes this and how to fix it?

Thanks

Is this the wrong forum or do I just not have the question stated in an understandable way? I guess it is more of a network question but don't see a forum for that.

Thanks

The network forum is called Ethernet...

Thanks. That wasn't immediately apparent the way I have been logging in.
