Internet Access Problem

I have two machines running XP-Pro SP3. The older machine has no
problems connecting to the internet which is done through a switch and
a Billion ADSL modem/router.
I recently built a new machine. It will not access the internet at all
whether I connect it directly to the modem or to the switch.
If I set the new machine to Automatically get an IP address it sits
there for several minutes and then comes up with the message about
Limited or No connectivity.
After a repair this comes up in the details box.
Physical Address: 00-1F-D0-D9-C2-79
IP Address: 169.254.23.219
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway:
DNS Server:
WINS Server:
At this point I have no network and no internet connection.
By reseting the TCP/IP properties I get this result.
Physical Address: 00-1F-D0-D9-C2-79
IP Address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.254
DNS Servers: 192.231.203.132, 192.231.203.3
WINS Server:
At this point I have a connection to the network but not to the
Internet. If I attemp to ping the modem (192.168.1.254) from the new
machine I get no response. If I ping from the old machine I get
Pinging 192.168.1.254 with 32 bytes of data:

Ping statistics for 192.168.1.254:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms
In the new machine the motherboard is a brand new Gigabyte
GA-MA780G-UD3H with 2GB RAM. The onboard network is an
RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P) PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC. I have a 750GB SATA
HDD. I even used the File and Settings transfer utility so both
machines are essentially the same. The only difference is the license
number and the drivers for the various bits and pieces.
I even tried replacing the network card with a D-Link card I had lying
around and got the same results.
If I use a fixed IP I can connect to the other machine, If I attempt
to use DHCP I get no connectivity at all. I cannot get this machine to
see the modem/router not even if I connect directly to the router
itself.
Please, what am I doing wrong? What other information do you need to
make a diagnosis.
I have been using computers for thirty years but I'm relatively new to
networking. I previously had two computers networked with internet
access through a Smoothwall firewall machine to a Belkin modem but,
for some obscure reason, the Billion modem doesn't want to connect to
Smoothwall. Maybe I have to go back to that setup.
