Thank you for answering so fast...

I said that it's not Ethernet Card's fault, because it was working before and I bought it not a long time ago, so I don't think that it died...

Here's what I did:

I took out my ethernet card and uninstalled my firewall, but it still doesn't work...

I haven't used USB connection before. Is there supposed to be connection shown in Network Connection window, just as it is shown when Ethernet exists? At the moment there is no such icon, and when I try to create a new connection, it says that it already exists...

Also I have tried to install USB connection with NTL Installation Disk, but it says, that IP cannot be renewed...

When I do ipconfig with USB connection, all it says is Windows IP Configuration and nothing else. Is that right?

Yes I have done exactly that when resetting my modem. I even leave it not connected for 5-10 mins just to be extra sure...

I applied WinSock XP fix, but it didn't help either...

Then I inserted Ethernet Card and when PC booted up it started working...

I installed firewall again and it stopped working...

When I uninstalled it and booted up it started working again...

It's strange, because I have been using same connection and same firewall for a year now and this never happened.
I have Sygate Personal Firewall Pro 5.1. Is there any way not to block DHCP, because I really like it...

So the problem must have been because Adaware SE Pro deleted some registries and then firewall started blocking DHCP....

I've been writing this post as I did one bit by one, and I'm not going to edit it, just to make it more strestfull for you guys...

Thank you so much, I love you all... hehe

If u can help me with Sygate firewall, that would be even better. thanks again...
