Well first you need admin rights to change those settings. From the
control panel select Network connections, right click on your
connection and select properties. Double click on Internet
Protocol(tcp/ip) you may have to scroll to see it. There you go.

Good luck.

Thanks Sharon.
I am logged on with Admin rights. I have changed user
configuration to IP
192.168.1.101 and default gateway to 192.168.1.1 but nothing has
helped.

Well maybe DHCP has already assigned 192.168.1.101 to another
computer on your network?

You can usually define the range of DHCP addresses available within
your router's configuration, or you can set a particular computer to
have a static ip address. Of course, that static ip address has to be
a new one not already assigned to some other computer on your
network. Why not try assigning a static ip address of say:
192.168.1.200 to your box?

Whatever static ip address you choose to use, it should be outside
the range of ip address automatically assigned by your router with
DHCP. So you'll want to check your router's configuration on this
score.

If you still don't have success trying a static ip address what I'd
do is:

- set your box back to obtain ip address automatically
- reboot your router so it clears its DHCP cache and reassigns to all
boxes. (give all this a chance to happen)

I have been trying all morning and have tried many different IP addresses
with the same negative results. I have tried rebooting router and modem. I
have still come up with nothing new. It is like my IP has been hijacked. I
have tried deleting temp files and ran virus and malware/adware/spyware
applications and still a big NOT. The only thing I can think of next would
be to somehow disable onboard NIC and install a PCI card if I thought this
would work. Do you have any thoughts on this idea? Is it possible to
disable NIC in BIOS?

Maybe your BIOS has that function? Not sure. But you can certainly disable
the onboard NIC within Windoze.

I wonder if you have a driver problem? Have you tried installing the latest
driver for your onboard NIC? That should be available from your motherboard
distributor.
