I restarted the computer and now I can't get to renewal the ip addresse and get a limited or no connection.I tried to restore to the point were i installed the linksys software but still no good .Help please.

    Turn off Windows XP firewall and see if that helps.

    OK. Try to configure the connection with a static IP address in the proper range. Manually configure Gateway device and DNS devbice/s. This will eliminate DHCP as an issue. Then see if you can access the Internet.
