That is what I was also thinking except for one thing....
on Xp the IP address is one ( 169.xxx.x.xxx) and on Win2k it is another (192.xxx x.xxx). All computers go through the router which assigns IP numbers to computers as needed. Win2k gets assigned a number by the router and it will work fine. WinXP on the other hand does not get assigned a number because the computer when it is booting from XP will not communicate with the router and after boot up you still can not log in to the router. I have logged into the router from another computer on the network and there is no attempt to communicate out. It is the same connection just different OS.
As to the firewall it has been uninstalled double checked to be sure it was disabled.
Thanks

ps: The computer in quetion is dual booting Xp & 2k. Only 2k will connect to
internet. Also on the network are 2 other connections all going thtough
a router.
