PC still doesn't connect to internet?

My brother's PC all of a sudden stopped connecting to the internet. It has
a separate PCI ethernet card (green light on card lights up when I install
the patch cable from DSL modem). I can't get any action with "ping" (just
says unknown host)... I re-set the connection, by going into "internet
properties", then selecting "connections" tab. Then click on "settings". I
got her to set up her connection manually, then selected "connect through a
LAN", then
select automatic discovery of proxy server (recommended)". It still didn't
work. Now what? Re-install ethernet driver? I even took the machine home
to try it on my internet connection - still nothing. Any ideas what's
wrong??

Does the machine pull an IP address?

Hey guys! I had the same problem with losing the internet. It was verizons
DSL...the whole damn region went down. If you call tech support for your
provider, they can walk you through it and they will see if you can pull an ip
address
