cable modem
linksys wired router
1 machine running xp home (no problems connecting)
1 machine running xp pro (cannot connect to internet)
realtek ethernet adapter on xp pro box (tcp/ip set to
obtain ip address and dns automatically)

DHCP does not assign an IP address, if i set up the tcp/ip
manually i can ping the router successfully but cannot
access it through IE. All pages in IE come back as "page
not found"

Under IE's internet options connections tab, the "setup"
button is grayed out, so i am unable to access the new
connection wizard in IE. If i try to run the wizard,
inetwiz, manually i receive an "acces denied" error. I'm
log in as an administrator.

Also I believe that all the proper services are enabled.
