Hello,

    A little more info please. Assumptions are bad ideas in
troubleshooting. If you go to the command window (run then cmd.exe ) then
type in c:> ipconfig what do you get?
also what is your network cards set for DHCP or fixed IP. If DHCP who or
what supplies the address? If DHCP is the supplier (router?) setup correctly
to supply it. Make sure you have disabled the XP/any other firewall on these
interfaces. It would normally not block getting an IP address but it will
hose up connections and stop pings if set . If it is a fixed IP address
make sure that it is in the range that your router is expecting this will
stop things in a hurry. I am sure that you have checked some or all of these
but we can not make any assumptions.

Good Luck,

Supertech
