Recently I reinstalled windows, before that my internet (and my wireless network) where working flawlessly. However, ever since I reinstalled windows (today), I either can't connect to my home network or when I do connect (by manually imputing the ip/dns/gate addresses) I won't receive any data (even though it registers that the data is being sent).

after I input the addresses, manually

the details of the network connection, and the source of my splitting headache

my wireless card

For TCP/IP all I know how to do is set the ip/gateway/dns. I'm don't know how to set up DHCP >_<

edit: I did a ping, the only thing that didn't respond was the DHCP server (though I'm not sure if that has any relevance to this)

second edit: I set it to auto detect the TCP/IP and it didn't detect the gateway or the DNS settings

my router doesn't have anything like that. Its a 2wire gateway, all it has is 3 lights (power, broadband link, and local network) and 4 ports (power, telephone, ethernet, and USB -which is unused-)

Use an ethernet cable to connect to the 2wire using a wired connection and then reset it. The WEP password is in square brackets on the 2wire.
