I don't know why they didn't put the GUI ip config in XP.
Anyway, open a command window and enter
ipconfig /renew

It should show the gateway address and some other info about
your connections, or an error.

Try this first though. Power off the router. Make
sure all your cables are plugged in correctly. Now,
power down the modem. Wait a few seconds. Power
the modem back up and wait for the lights to show
the modem is "synced". After it shows you're connected,
now power up the router. Let the router get its IP from
the modem. Now you can go in and configure the router
if needed. I just went through adding a router box
and I can tell you it will *never* work unless you
resync the cable modem before powering it up!

Have fun.

I am having trouble connecting to the Internet with my Windows XP computer
through my router after I reinstalled XP Home due to Outlook Express 6
problems. I am able to connect directly to the Internet, without a router.
And My Windows 98SE computer has no trouble connecting through the router.
The normal solution I would use would be to use "start" > "run" >
"winipcfg", then "release all", then "renew all", then clear cache. at least
this has always worked with my 98SE computer. does anyone have any idea what
the equivalent command to winipcfg is with XP, and also why I cannot connect
through a router with my XP computer? Thanks!

Start, Run, cmd <enter>
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

Try pinging the router, and then your ISP's gateway and see what happens.

ipconfig from the command line. Start | Run | cmd to get to the command
prompt, then ipconfig /release to release all and ipconfig /renew to renew
all (ipconfig /? shows you other options such as flushdns).

Beautiful! It worked. You guys Jim, Kung, and Dominic are geniuses!

I don't actually know how to do this. But at least I am back online.

Microsoft's IPConfig Utility for Windows 2k, NT, XP "Wntipcfg.exe"
It's just like the "Winipcfg.exe" in Windows98

For future reference.

Open Control Panel - Network Connections.

Right-click on the icon for your Internet connection and select
Status. That has information in a GUI format and the Repair button
does a release and renew of the i.p. address.

Good luck

Thanks Ron. Sorry, I didn't see your post earlier. You're right. I just
checked, and it was there. The repair button is definitely a lot easier than
doing a command line, and then ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew.
