unable to repair network connection since instaling router

[bent240LV]

since i have installed my lnksys/vonage router i have not been able to repair my connection. It says that is is unable to repair because it cannto renew my ip address. What settings should i change after installing a router? i have not changed anything yet and i am testing a bit slower on the DL test since installing the router as well. thanks for the help

be sure to reset everything properly first:

-shut down all computers on network

-pull the power to the router

-pull the power to the modem

-let everything sit and checked that all connections are correct and secure

-bring up the modem first and ENSURE that it has initialized a connection before continuing

-bring up the router

-bring up the computers

if that doesn't work, be sure that all firewalls are off, and try this (assuming you have XP):

open your control panel --> network connections --> right click on local area connection, choose properties --> click install --> click on protocol and then add --> click have disk --> where it says "copy manufacturer's files from" type "c:windowsinf", then click ok --> choose Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), click ok --> close all windows and restart the computer....if that doesn't work, get back at me

If what Fallowearth recommended doesn't do it, go into your network adapter configuration and change the speed/media  from auto to 100mb and  full duplex.  Some nics don't like to play nice............
