It seems the ISP Shrewsbury cable could be the reason.
They say they only allow 2 connections. However there are
4 PC's on at times.

My laptops number 255.255.0.0 subnet mask won't get the
right one 255.255.248.0 I've rebuilt the machine
2 times. And it still won't make a connection.

It is seen in the workgroup, and I can connect to my
other computers in the LAN, but nothing. I've checked
on the proper connections in the Advanced Tab on Internet
explorer.

I did see there are some things to do in the Registry
but feel, that's more work then I should have to do since
it's worked before with out doing that type of extended
programing.

Please assist when possible.
Thanks,
Ralph..
 
From a command prompt;
ipconfig /all
and compare the result with what your ISP thinks you should have.
 
Do you use a router/firewall between your Internet router and your network?
Is it set to do NAT/DHCP?
