The CD is not needed. Bad things are those CDs - do funny things with TCP/IP. I prefer to know what settings are being fiddled with.

Switch the modem off for a bit (at least 10 seconds), then back on again.

Right-click "Network Neighbourhood" on the desktop, and choose "Properties". Have a rummage in the tabs (I can't recall now without booting my old PC) and check that it's set to acquire an IP address automatically. Ditto DNS.
