hi, im having a little...actually BIG problem with my computer's network connection. I turned off my computer w/o shutting it down yesterday and when i turned it back on the network connection was messed up, meaning it had the wrong IP address and couldn't connect to the internet, and when i tried to repair (i use windows XP btw) it said "trouble renewing IP address". Im connected w/a win2k machine through a router, and that's working fine...so i don't know if turning off the computer messed up my NIC..or if its software problems...someone plz help.

How do you know you have the wrong address? Are you using DHCP to get an address? From a command prompt try doing..

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

it should tell you if it cant renew the ip.

How do you know the router is working fine?

Does the router recognize your computer?
Can you check this from another station?

Just reconfigure your network settings properly.

Or delete your old lan settings and make new ones.

Good luck
