Well first you need admin rights to change those settings. From
the control panel select Network connections, right click on your

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?


Thinking more about your prob.

Have you tried to release the NIC's ip address? Try this at a cmd
prompt:

ipconfig /release

and then reboot your computer. Upon reboot, your router should assign
a new ip address to your NIC.

Also, can you login to your router from the affected computer? If
not, have you concerned the possibility the cable is bad? You can
borrow a cable from another box and see if that makes any difference.

Sorry, not knowing exactly what you've tried so far to troubleshoot
this problem, leaves me sort of grasping at possible straws.

OK. Problem solved. There was one thing that I just discovered that I failed
to recognized that was the unknown factor with this that has been totally
STUPID on my part. The key word here is VONAGE. The whole problem arrived
now that I remember when I installed Vonage VOIP router as directed. The
addition of the Vonage router inline with the original Lynksys router. The
cable going to the System in question was connected through the Vonage
router and not even connected to the Lynksys router. Tracing the wires
disclosed this and now makes all the sence in the world. I connected the
other Systems to the Vonage router and all is well. I guess I could connect
Vonage VOIP service through the Lynksys router and not even use the Vonage
router not understanding that the Vonage router is just an ordinary router
and not specific to Vonage VOIP.

I guess I am more stupid that I originally thought(Slap myself here over
and over). Now I must return to other posts to finalize everything for the
sake of Google and the others that have been so kind to assist me through my
ordeal.

Many thanks to all involved in this thread and especially to you NoStop for
hanging in.
Thanks to Sandgroper. Thanks to Sharon Franks. Thanks to Malke. Thanks to
Og. Thanks to R. McCarty. Thanks to Mike Fields.

Regards to all.
