Unable to communicate with Router

I have a Motorola SBG1000 router/cable modem that is connected wirelessly to 2 computers, one running Win98, the other running WinXP. The WinXP computer, which was originally used to configure the SBG1000 (by way of Ethernet connection), has stopped communicating with the SBG1000. I have reconnected the Ethernet connection, and tried addressing the SBG1000 through Internet Explorer version 6 (at http://192.168.0.1), but it will not connect. I've tried opening the router configuration tool from my other computer using IE6, but it will not accept my password at the logon page (although it is still communicating with the router just fine). At this point, I'm locked out of the router/modem. I've tried manually setting the gateway, and that doesn't work either. Running ipconfig shows that the DHCP server isn't working, and an address is of 169.254.x.y, so it's being assigned by Windows Automatic Private IP addressing. I'm trying to avoid having to reinstall WinXP, especially if that's not the problem. Does anybody have any ideas of how to get my computer to talk to the router (resetting the router didn't work)?

Thanks.
 
u might want to try removing the TCP/IP Stack
if running winXP ,, u can try go to command prompt: and typ
netsh_int_ip_reset_restlog.tx
then restart the compute
and it will reinstall the tcp/ip stack...
good luck
 
If you run the following command (at a command prompt), what error does it
give you?

ipconfig /renew

It could be helpful if you would also include the output from "ipconfig
/all" (without quotes) in your reply.
