Network Connection

I have a DELL PC and a laptop with WIn XP service pack running. Both of these
are connected to the internet through a wireless router and were working
fine. After I installed the sound driver in my PC I am not able to connect
to the internet from my PC. The laptop is working fine. The wireless
connection is having good strenth. But when I try ipconfig in my PC . It
shows an error " Internal error occured. Command not supported. This is why
the router is not able to assign a valid ip address to the PC.

Can anyone help me.

are you running a software firewall on that pc? many time when you
install a new piece of hardware in a pc the drivers for that hardware
will want to access the net to look for updates, register themselves,
etc. many software firewalls, like ZoneAlarm, will block that initial
attempt and flas a dialog box requesting permission to access the net.
until that dialog box is answered no internet communications will take
place.

you might also take the wireless router out of the loop and connect
the pc to the broadband modem directly and see what happens.

just for grins have you powered off/powered on the broadband modem and
wireless router?
