Internet Disappeared!
i have a linksys cable modem and router. i have 2 computers sharing the internet, one has win Me , the ethernet cable wire is connected through a usb converter and the other computer (one that is having problem) is connected through a ethernet card.
til yesterday.. everything was fine, suddenly the page showed an error, and i got disconnected. first i thought it was the connection .. but my other computer is working fine. I also tried using the usb device to connect but its the same. It says connected but the IP address is 0.0.0.0 . When i click on repair.. it gives an error.. but it was giving the same error when the internet was working fine. i also reinstalled windows.. but for some reason the computer cant detect the internet connection.

If you are unable to get a response from the DHCP server (your router) then you may have a physical cabling problem. Are you able to access shares on the other computer? Also try disabling all firewall software if you are running any...
