Well its hard to tell exactly, however I would guess after the default gateway was correctly set, and the network card set back to dhcp, it might have just needed some time to get its configurations from the router.

Sweet! Thank you so much, Matt. You've been a tremendous help. Im glad i found this website and decided to give it a try. Now if i could only figure out how to repair the keyboard. when i turn the laptop on.. it makes several beeps like keys are stuck. Plus as i said earlier.. when i was trying to type in ipconfig /all it would erase everything i typed and there are so many little things this POS does to drive me nuts.

Thats out of my league, but you could try posting in the hardware support section. Its worth a shot.

I had a similar problem, (only getting half the packets back) and it turned out to be the nic (network interface card) in the Laptop.
They just dont build them like they used to.
I dropped the speed to 10Mbs (from 100) and then all my problems went away.
I suppose they do have to cram a lot of technology into a small space....
Hope it helps
