It sounds to me like the router is not accepting your MAC Address and assigning you a APIPA address (169.XX......).
Hope this helps
Hi Chuckster, I can't access the router from IE but I can ping it fine from command prompt. I can also ping other machines on the network fine and access network drives. Mac filtering and all security on the router has been switched off and dhcp is definitely enabled on the router and in Vista.
