If it is WinXP then digging through the system/network menus will
bring you to something that says "renew IP address" or maybe it is
a command in the Run menu system (that might be something like
"ipconfig"). Sometimes that fixes it when it gets confused on its
own.

that brings up the command window.
THen type ipconfig /all
That will show you the tcp/ip configuration of all network cards on
the machine.
it should have a real static or dynamic IP number, the subnet mask,
and DNS servers
If your machine has a 169 number, it won't talk to anything else.
That is a self-assigned IP number.
After that, if you know you are using a dynamic IP number (Assigned
by a router or your ISP), then type in the command prompt"
ipconfig /release (that releases the dynamic IP number)
Ipconfig /renew (assigns a new IP number)
Thanks, Loren, sounds like that might be useful for other problems as well.
I'll try that tomorrow night.
