I did everything possible tried a winsock fix, ipconfig /all, ip config release, different version of XP tried home and pro, tried removing driver, update driver remove all the protocol and made sure all settings were correct and made sure DHCP was enabled, cable is pluged in and other computers work with the modem IS the NIC card bad? Its intergrated into a laptop? Any feedback would be great

Could you tell us what the basic problem is. Are you unable to establish a connection? Is this high speed, cable or DSL? Are you using a router or just the modem?

If you are pulling a 169 IP you may have to reboot your modem. Depending on your ISP, the modem acts as a bridge between your PC and your ISP's DHCP. Thus, if you switch PCs the modem will not communicate with the MAC address on the new PC.
