I have installed XP on a new router...

Now, when I boot it up, the wired link from the computer to the router comes on, but just before it finishes booting up it, the wired link goes out and Windows won't talk to the router. It gives me a 169.* ip, and fails to renew it.

I know the router works and the adaptor, because if I put my old HD in it, it works.. The problem must be in XP somewhere... I have tried uninstalled the network card, and that didn't work...

Any ideas guys? Many thanx in advance...
