Hi,
   If you run the command

ipconfig /all

a) do you have an ip address set in the correct range?
b) do you have a default gate way that matches your router?
c) can you ping your router?
d) if you ping www.bbc.co.uk does it resolve the address

Lets start with these answers first :)

Regards,

Pete
