    What type of internet connection are you using -- DSL, cable, other? Is it DHCP, static, or PPPoE? Also, can you try a different network cable?

    Try a different cable, yours could be damaged.

    Are you situated behind a router, or is it a direct connection to the Internet? Also, what version of Windows is that system running?

    Did you use the software that came with your modem to configure it?
