You must have vista, it does that with some routers (including mine).

You have to set up a static IP for your DESKTOP
I would tell you instruction but you dont have the router info.

hope this helps...


(you can search on how to set a static IP for your computer on the manufacturer website of your router)

ok sounds like a dumb question .. but you do have it plugged in ( the network cable to the Tower) if that is a yes then most likely it's a stacked winsock since clearly the router is working
