Yesterday, all of a sudden my computer decided that it no longer would pull an IP address from the router. I have two NIC's installed and attached to the router. When I run ipconfig both NIC's have AIPA IP addresses (i.e. 162.XXX.XXX.XXX). I released the IP's and tried to renew but got an error. I took the router out of the system and connected the PC directly to the DSL modem. Rebooted both but still got the 162.XXX.XXX.XXX IP address. I checked the properties of both NIC's and they are configured for DHCP. I have never had anthing like this happen before. I disabled the Windows firewall. I have reset the Security settings to the Default. I have disabled the anti-virus. I have disabled any spyware/malware scanners. No luck. I can run HiJack but can't post it because I can't get to the Internet from the PC. Anybody got any ideas? I am stumped.

Thanks.
