RE: PC freezes and restarts after DSL installation

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Thanks, Bill. I had trouble finding the latest drivers from SBC's site and
decided to uninstall their software all together. I was still having the
same problem after I uninstalled it so I went and reinstalled the entire
operating system. Even if I don't have all that SBC Yahoo! software
installed, I still get the same errors, freezing, and sudden restarts. My
Internet connection still works, though, and pages load just fine.

Now I'm beginning to wonder if this problem is being caused by the Ethernet
card. I had just bought a new one and installed it before installing the
DSL. It's a Linksys 10/100 EtherFast PCI card.

I saw the following in the System Event Viewer:

Warning:
"Your computer has detected that the IP address 192.168.1.64 for the Network
Card with network address 000C41E6A82E is already in use on the network. Your
computer will automatically attempt to obtain a different address."

Error:
"The IP address lease 192.168.1.64 for the Network Card with network address
000C41E6A82E has been denied by the DHCP server 192.168.0.1 (The DHCP Server
sent a DHCPNACK message)."
