When you turn on or restart the PC tap the F8 key until you get the boot menu that includes that option. If Windows begins to load you missed it and have to try again.

Ok I got it figured out. This is my ipconfig/all for it

We're running out of possibilities here.

Using Safe Mode with Networking gets almost all the software out of the way and begins pointing the finger at a hardware problem. Highly unlikely, though, that both adapters failed at the same time.

Theoretically the Dhcp server on the router could be disabled. Certainly not likely, but please double check using the other computer. If you do an ipconfig /all on that and see "DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes" and a good IP configuration you know it's OK. Or, login to the router and actually check it.

If the Recovery included a non-Windows firewall (usually Norton or McAfee) that may be the culprit here; it needs to be configured or uninstalled.

Check that all your network services are Started:

• COM+ Event System (for WZC issues)
• Computer Browser
• DHCP Client
• DNS Client
• Network Connections
• Network Location Awareness
• Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
• Server
• TCP/IP Netbios helper
• Wireless Zero Configuration (XP wireless configurations only)
• WLAN AutoConfig (Vista wireless configurations only)
• Workstation

Note: You can check the services in Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services.

All of these services should be started, and their startup type should be automatic (or perhaps manual).

If a service is not running, open it's properties and check the dependencies. Check each of the dependencies and see which one is preventing the service from running. Checking the event log is also a good idea here, there may be clues to what is failing.

I checked the firewall settings and right now they are all turned off.

I also checked to make sure the list you had were all running and they are.

I'm really not sure what happened to it. Do we have any other options?

[sewnsew]

Oh and I did an ipconfig/all on the desktop(the one I'm online with now) and this is what came up

Could the problem be with the ip routing enabled part?

[JohnWill]

Was that last IPCONFIG in safe mode?

[TerryNet]

Note that the last ipconfig was for the working (different) PC.

I checked the firewall settings and right now they are all turned off.

What firewall? Please be aware that "turned off" is not the same as

... it needs to be configured or uninstalled.

[sewnsew]

The only firewall on the computer appears to be windows firewall and that one is turned off right now.
