Question : computer won't connect to internet

I have a desktop computer with a modem and wireless router attached.  Everything was running run until my internet connection went kaput.

I called tech support for the modem and went through all the steps with them.  I hooked up the modem directly to pc and got rid of the router - still no connection.  Then I hooked the modem to my laptop and received connection.  I hooked the modem and router back up to the desktop and still have laptop connection.

I am running XP and using a Microsoft Router.  I have tried resetting the modem and router.  I have tried to ipconfig /release and /renew from command prompt.  Whenever I try to uninstall my eternet adapter or disable it - the utility freezes.  WHenever I go in Microsoft Networking and try to renew the ip there it freezes.

I am at a loss.

Hello rjmiller15 =)

Try running this Winsock Repair for XP >> http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
And before running it, disconnect from interent and create a system restore point for precautions! :)
