Click Start, then Click Run, in the box type Command
When the Dos box opens, click in it and then type
Ping 192.168.1.1
If the Network card can communicate with your router,
then all three packs should be acknowledged. If it says
100% loss then the PC cannot connect to the router, so
it becomes more complicated as there is no connection
from your PC through the NIC/Ethernet cable back to
the router.

Also can you post the Vendor/Model # of your router.
