Network help anyone?

[NoStop]

I have been trying all morning and have tried many different IP addresses
with the same negative results. I have tried rebooting router and modem. I
have still come up with nothing new. It is like my IP has been hijacked. I
have tried deleting temp files and ran virus and malware/adware/spyware
applications and still a big NOT. The only thing I can think of next would
be to somehow disable onboard NIC and install a PCI card if I thought this
would work. Do you have any thoughts on this idea? Is it possible to
disable NIC in BIOS?

Thinking more about your prob.

Have you tried to release the NIC's ip address? Try this at a cmd prompt:

ipconfig /release

and then reboot your computer. Upon reboot, your router should assign a new
ip address to your NIC.

Also, can you login to your router from the affected computer? If not, have
you concerned the possibility the cable is bad? You can borrow a cable from
another box and see if that makes any difference.

Sorry, not knowing exactly what you've tried so far to troubleshoot this
problem, leaves me sort of grasping at possible straws.

Don't apologize, please. I am very grateful that you are working with me. So
many have left this and other posts on other groups as I feel they have
given up. I can Log on to router and all seems well. I have not tried
another cable as I do have connectivity every time I leave the settings as
they are now and am posting from that System now. I am still concerned
about the inability to see a screen when type ipconfig /all but this
happens on both Systems. I liked it when things were the way they were with
Win98. Seemed much easier that way. I have typed ipconfig /release but this
did not change anything. I guess I will be adding another NIC. Probably the
first thing in the AM tomorrow. Really getting tired of this problem hanging
in. I did try to update the NIC driver but it did not work for some reason.
I will try that again just for the fun of it.

OK. Problem solved. There was one thing that I just discovered that I failed
to recognized that was the unknown factor with this that has been totally
STUPID on my part. The key word here is VONAGE. The whole problem arrived
now that I remember when I installed Vonage VOIP router as directed. The
addition of the Vonage router inline with the original Lynksys router. The
cable going to the System in question was connected through the Vonage
router and not even connected to the Lynksys router. Tracing the wires
disclosed this and now makes all the sence in the world. I connected the
other Systems to the Vonage router and all is well. I guess I could connect
Vonage VOIP service through the Lynksys router and not even use the Vonage
router not understanding that the Vonage router is just an ordinary router
and not specific to Vonage VOIP.

I guess I am more stupid that I originally thought(Slap myself here over
and over). Now I must return to other posts to finalize everything for the
sake of Google and the others that have been so kind to assist me through my
ordeal.

Many thanks to all involved in this thread and especially to you NoStop for
hanging in.

You're welcome. It took a big person to come back and admit that the
problem was caused by User Error, so bravo to you! We've all been
there. Even professional techs have those "is it plugged in?" moments
so don't feel bad at all.

Thank you for taking the time to tell us what happened.
