Make sure that "Automatically Detect Settings" box is checked, then click on Ok. and ok again. Close Internet Explorer and re open.

Hello PlasticLipGloss,

You did swap out the old cat5 cable between the network card and the router didn't you? If so, Please click Start , RUN , Then type in CMD. At the DOS prompt type ipconfig /all and let me know what you get. It may be you need to reinstall your network card drivers..

Good Hunting...
