Home Network Issue

Let me start by saying I'm a real novice, here goes. . .

My desktop is connected to a Linksys Wireless router using Win XP. I
also have a notebook that uses a wireless card to jump on the SBC Yahoo
DSL connection.

My desktop will no longer connect to the internet with IE or Mozilla,
yet the Notebook works just fine. I have an icon showing that the
network has been connected but the ISP's won't work.

I went to the C prompt and typed in IPCONFIG and I don't see any IP
Address, Subnet Mask, etc.,
Anyone have an idea how I can get my desktop back on track?

Thanks

Can you paste the output of what "ipconfig /all" gives you? That might
give us a better idea of what's up.

Also, what happens if you type "ipconfig /renew" ?
