DSL Connection Problem

Hi Experts,

I have an 18 month old box self-assembled (Box 1) with Win2K SP4 and one
that goes back at least 10 years - Box 2, also self-assembled. DSL was
running on both (one at a time, of course) for over 2 years.

Box 2 has had no problem at all with DSL.
After about a year, after Box 1 failed to connect via DSL. I traced the
problem to the Kingston (same as Realtek) Network card. I moved the card
to other PCI slots and finally it came to life in a different slot from
the first one. The driver is installed and everything seems ok. With
the network cable in place, there are 4 green modem buttons lit but no
DSL connection.

I used the CMD Prompt to check the IPConfig and had the following
answers - from Box 1 and Box 2.

Box 1
C:\Documents and Settings\V>Ipconfig/release

Windows 2000 IP Configuration
Error: No adapters bound to TCP/IP are enabled for DHCP

==================================================

Box 2
C:\Documents and Settings\v>ipconfig/renew

Windows 2000 IP Configuration

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 69.236.177.20
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 69.236.177.21

C:\Documents and Settings\v>

Could anyone give me the steps necessary to get #1 running again?

TIA

Apologies Readers. My 2-bit reader threw away my response in my last effort.

Thank you Gerard

Sorry I left out some info in my first post. The network card has been
detected and is functioning ok according to Device Mgr. The addresses for
the IP and DNS are provided automatically and DHCP is enabled.

Indeed the ISP provides all the info - IP, DNS numbers etc. I am just a
little shrimp at the end of the line. ;-)

I hope to be back soon with some more info.

Thanks again.
