After resetting the router (DUH!), guess what....the new PC now is working on the internet. But now the main PC is NOT. The new PC has switched to ASSIGNED BY DHCP and has a adddress of 192.168.0.140. THe main PC which no longer works on the internet still has a good physical connection, but it does not receive any data now. So I pinged that computer, and a dos box opened up, and it pinged the address you gave three times successfully: "reply from 192.168.0.1 bytes=32 time =1ms TTL=64" I got the same results on the new PC also, BTW.
When I try to run the repair utility under network connections/SUPPORT, it always fails, it says it was unable to get new IP address.
I think that the 192.168.0.140 address is hard-coded into the router and that is its an unchanging physical address, is it not? So why can't the main PC pick up the correct router address now?
