The network does not hand out DHCP IP addresses (at all or only to

You need a newer/better network device driver installed?
Please give everyone here the benefit of knowing what you have,
what you have tried, etc.
- Operating System (specifically - including Service Pack.)
- Type of network being connected to.
- Network Device (and version of the driver installed.)

DHCP on Cable
Realtek 3189 Most recent.
- Windows XP Home, Professional, or superset of Professional?
- DHCP on cable is not much of an explanation of your network. I am
guessing 'cable modem' of some sort? With a separate router or is it built
into the cable modem? Or is it even a cable modem? And what are the
settings on the router - if one is involved?
- Realtek 3189... Is this on a laptop of some sort?
- What is the name brand/model of your computer?
