I just put together a new pc, and I bought/installed Win XP Pro on it. Everything went just fine until I hooked up the new pc to my router (cable modem hooked up to a router - already had 3 pc's working just fine). For some reason, this new pc will not update the dynamic IP. It does not recieve packets, only seems to try to send packets.

The ASUS mother board came with a network connection built in - that didn't work. I disabled it in BIOS, installed a D-Link fast ethernet card - same problem - does not recieve packets, unable to renew the IP address.

I also tried pluuging the R5 cable from the new pc dirertly into the cable modem - no dice. No Internet.

I have checked the IE connection and the network connection to make sure they told to check IP/DNS dynamically - but they dont seem to be able to do it. I have hit Microsoft support chat(they gave me http://www.practicallynetworked.com/ URL - good info, still no results), and I have a thread going on MS support groups - which might work out, but so far, I am just repeating info given in the first post. I checked my ISP website (RoadRunner) and they gave TCP/IP info which matches what I have it set up as. They also mention a prolem with XP and USB port problems on the Motorola cable modem, but that doesn't apply to me, as the modem is hoked up to a router, not a USB port.

So, I figure the best and fastest place to look for info is GFY. What can I try?
