click start and click on control panel. then click network and internet connections. then right click on LAN or High Speed Internet and click properties. then highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click on Properties.
see if Obtain IP adress automatically is selected. I ran into a problem with this a year ago where for some reason their was a manual IP adress put in that was the same as my internet ip adress but it would not work. So I had to select obtain IP address automatically.
Anyways, try that if see if maybe that would be the problem.

Thanks, that was the problem. I just had to release and renew my ip, and then reset the modom and router (probably fucking up my roommates downloads.)
I know its supposed to be posted in science and technology, but then id be waiting days for a response.
Thanks for the help, the new comp is great!
