Thanks for your feedback. Recently something went wrong with my Windows Xp and I had to reinstall the program but, now since it's restored to the way we got the computer 6 years ago I can't connect to my updated internet provider. I have Verizon Fios and I have no idea how to connect the computer does not even detect a connection. Please help!

I first want to thank all of you for your help. Really appreciate it. The service tag entry would be better. Thanks for letting me know. I copied the link using the Google Chrome browser. That is strange. My partner is able to connect perfectly wirelessly with her Mac with no problems, and in our previous apartment I could connect to the Airport Express with no difficulty we had Comcast cable internet at the previous place.
The password for the Airport Express hasn't changed, and I tried re-entering it with no luck. It is only since moving to a new house and new provider that I've had this problem, but the problem now occurs everywhere I go, so I'm afraid I messed something up in the search for a fix, or that the move is unconnected to the problem.
I've tried disconnecting the modem and router and letting them power down and back up. I've done that with my partner's laptop turned off and with it left on. No luck so far. Plus, as I said, this problem happens everywhere, not just on our home network. Two things I've noticed: 1. Mac, she gets a different IP address Sorry to sound clueless -- but I guess I am.
When I check it and "OK" my way out of those windows and go back later, it has always come unchecked and reverted to the same Preferred and Alternate DNS servers -- it's always the same numbers, no matter where I am. Any ideas? Can anyone walk me through some fixes? Or do 1 or 2, above, point to anything important? Create a restore point, then install and run the utility found on this link.
This should help. Problems like this are usually down to hardware or drivers - please make sure you have the latest sets in place and check that you have the manufacturers drivers and not the ones from Microsoft.
Thanks for the advice, tw0rld and Albert. Albert, I'm sorry to be clueless again , but I don't know how to check to make sure I have the latest drivers in place or how to get new ones I especially don't know how to get new ones without internet access!
Can you walk me through how I can check to see if I have the manufacturer's drivers rather than Microsoft's? Thanks so much. See if this fixed it. Let us know? If they have either a red or yellow mark over them then you have found the problem but I would be surprised as you have managed to get a response to ipconfig.
Right click on the network device and look at the properties - click on the driver tab and then driver details. Look at the drivers list and the provider - which should not show Microsoft as their drivers often cause trouble. If they are MS, you will have to locate the latest set for the device or reinstall them from the motherboard CD if you still have it. Let us. Albert, thanks for these ideas.
