Hi, today when I woke up and turned on my PC I realised my internet wasn't working. I can´t get it to work, unplugging it and plugging it back doesn't do anything. I don't know why but sometimes when I unplugged it, it said the cable was disconnected but sometimes it didn't. I'm currently using Windows XP if that's important. Ipconfig is not working, when I do "ipconfig /all" nothing shows up. My modem is working correctly as I'm writing this using another ethernet cable connected to my modem

It says it's enabled (I think). I don't have a dedicated ethernet card, I just use the port that my mobo has

try this :

Startup the Services window (Start -> Run -> "services.msc"), then look for a line labeled "DHCP Client". Make sure that the Status column shows "Started" and the Startup Type column is "Automatic". If not, double-click on that line and make it that way

Is already that way. It's very strange, yesterday was working just fine. I don't know if this is important but some days ago I had to manually set a DNS because couldn't use my browser

It also seems like my default conection is gone, in Spanish is called "Conexión de area local" or something like that, I don't know what to call it in English

Already figured it out, I found a CD with some old drivers and they worked!
