    I had to migrate to a cheaper B.Band privider, but unfortunately AOL gives a router, and I use a cable, not wireless.

    1. this B.Band works fine on my first PC.
    2. this bag....d up my trusted simple cable networking.
    3. my second PC does not reveal any IP address,
    neither its own nor the router's one, whatever I use
    in Run, cmd, ipconfig etc.

    Any help to get the IP please?

    PC:-
    mobo= MSI K8TM S.754
    cpu= AMD 1.8 ghz
    ram=1gb
    LAN
    XPpro sp2

    Right click My network places / properties / right click the local connection / click on tcp/ip and see if it is set to auto for both items.

    Does not show any ip address, as in totally blank, or is it zeroed (0.0.0.0), or do you get a private ip address (169.yada...)?

    What happens when you type ipconfig /renew into a command (cmd) line?

    So, they are both set to auto? Ip and dns? .....and you go to run / type cmd / then type in the command pane ipconfig /all ......?
    What is the ip address of the other computers on your lan ....and the gateway?
    May have to manually set ....
