IP address not accepted

Ny network card stopped working, so I had to buy a new
one. The new card indicates that there is traffic coming
in (the LED blinks...), but I can't connect to the
internet. The computer is set to automatically receive an
IP address (the same setting as with the old card).
I talked to the support people at my service provider, and
they say that the server sends out an IP address, but my
computer refuses to accept it, and after a while the
session times out.
What should I do? Reinstall XP and hope that it works
better, should I change some setting, or what?
 
we need more information to help. what's the ip, dg and dns? posting
ipconfig /all here may help.

Problem solved. After re-installing XP the old ethernet
card decided to start working again, and there were no
problems when using that card. If I disabled that card and
enabled the new card (D-Link), the computer still refused
to accept the IP address sent out. Strange, but everything
seems to be working now.
