I upgraded 98 to 2000. Now my computer doesn't have an
IP address so I can not connect. My provider said they
couldn't do anything, it was an operating system
problem. I installed a second time to try to solve the
probblem.

Any help would be appreciated.

Might as well learn how to use the "Make new connection applet" and
set up networking. Of course, IT or the ISP has given you an IP address
to use? Or is it dynamic addressing (DHCP) going to be used? (And, as
an aside, ditch your ISP; it is the lousiest advice it can give to any of its
clients.)
 
Daryl:

When you state that your computer doesn't have an IP address, please
describe your problem in detail. Are you using dialup, or an ethernet card?

Did your ISP provide software that needs to be installed?

What are the results of an IPCONFIG /ALL? (you can run this from the
command prompt).
