NTL / LAN connection problem

Help !! I'm on Wanadoo PAYG dialup as my NTL broadband
connection isn't functioning.
I connected my Ethernet cable to my new PC and it told me there was 'low or no connectivity'. I've rebooted the STB and PC umpteen times and still no change. Went back to my old PC and that is saying exactly the same despite it having been fine 2 hours before.Now 4 days later and still no resolution - technical support are blaming the PC manufacturer but the Netgear adaptor seems fine.
The error message I get says that the network did not assign a network address to the computer.
The details box then shows that although I have:
Physical Address
IP Address
Subnet Mark assigned
There is nothing assigned for :
Default Gateway
DNS server
WINS Servers

Any ideas help gratefully received!
