Try this. Click 'Start', 'Settings', 'Control Panel'. Locate the 'Internet Options' icon in your control panel and open it up. Click on the 'Connections' tab. Make sure 'Never Dial a Connection' is selected. Now click on 'Lan Settings'. Make sure there are no check marks in any boxes. Close the 'Internet Options'. Locate the 'Network' icon and open it up. Try to find the TCP/IP protocol bound to your network card (looks like TCP/IP->name of your network card). DO NOT select Dial-up adaptor. Click once on the TCP/IP->your network card thingy so it is hi-lited. Click on the properties button. Make sure that 'Obtain an IP address Automatically' is selected. Check all the other tabs and make sure they are completely blank. ClickOK and OK. You will probably have to reboot. If this doesn't work, go back to the control panel and network icon and remove anything that mentions TCP/IP. After rebooting go back to control panel and network and click 'Add' then 'Protocol' then 'Microsoft' then 'TCP/IP'. Reboot. If this doesn't work, replace your network card.

We discovered the answer. There was a third party app in the way.

Thanks anyway.
