Can't get an IP address assigned using DHCP

Hi,
I have a home network which is a mix of 98 and XP machines, some wired, some
wireless, connected to AOL through a router. Up until recently, everything
worked great, however, my daughter's PC has recently stopped connecting to
the network so she can't get internet access (no MS Messenger etc!).
This PC was using a wireless connection, I've now changed to an ethernet
cable, but still nothing works. The first roadblock that I've reached while
debugging is that the PC doesn't appear to be getting an IP address from the
router which is configured to act as a DHCP server. All other machines on the
network are getting addresses correctly. Things that I've tried so far:
- I have compared network settings with another machine and can't see
anything that is different.
- I can ping the PC itself, but can't ping anything else on the network
- Tried the windows trouble shooter but that's not helped.
- Checked ipconfig, which shows IP address as being Autoconfiguration IP
address 169.254.178.246
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Alan
