Thanks a lot for helping out!

I did as you said. DHCP is enabled for both machines. As for the TCP/IP boxes, I assume you mean the list under General Connection Properties (such as File and Printer Sharing, Client for Microsoft Netwoks, etc.). My PC is a lot newer than the other, so it has more options, but all the boxes are checked for both machines (for both the wireless and LAN connections of both machines).

As for having an "admin back-end", I am clueless. I believe that someone else manages our network. If I did have access to such a thing, where would it be?

By now I'm certain there is something wrong with my PC and not the internet service. I can connect to the internet when I run a cable from the modem to the router and another cable from the router hub to the computer on both the other computers but not mine. I cannot run any of the computers directly from the modem or it cannot assign an address.

I was considering running a repair install of windows XP. Would that accomplish anything? I'm worried something is missing or corrupted somewhere...
