i have a very small company with only a 5 computer network, so i run it off a windows xp machine. it connected through a wireless network router, and has been for the past year without any problems. suddenly, the server stopped being able to access the internet, while the other computers can. when i check the 'ipconfig/
it doesnt come up with a default gateway. also the computer says that a cable is disconnected..it isnt!!
what im still shocked at is the fact that the other computers are able to access the internet
:s

Is your server also the DHCP server?
If not, try doing a release/renew to attempt to pick up a new address.
ipconfig /release [enter]
ipconfig /renew [enter]
See if you are able to pick up new address with the default.
Check your NIC (network card).
Make sure to get into your hardware manager and make sure all configs on the TCP/IP are correct for your NIC card and that it is active.
If you are getting a red "X", try to right click and "enable". If this doesn't allow you to enable this; uninstall and reinstall the hardware.
If you have a second NIC card I would configure that for fail over just incase this happens again.
