================================================

Was the other computer that was connected to
the same cable modem and able to get a valid
IP Address, using the same Ethernet cable as the
computer that is having the problem?

If not, the issue could be due to the Ethernet cable
that the problem computer is using. Or possibly the
Ethernet card itself could be the problem.

Otherwise, if you have not already done so, I suggest
running the "How to Recover from Winsock2 corruption"
procedure from the following article:
