Connection issues

My PC that is running on cable directly from the wall along with my router is unable to connect to the internet while the other 2 pc's in my house, connecting to my network wirelessly, can. My ISP is comcast and I have talked to them over the phone and they tried everything that they could do over the phone with no success. They told me that everything on their end looked fine, they could see that my modem was online. Nevertheless, I still have the "limited or no connectivity" message. Unfortunately, they can't get anyone out here until Saturday to investigate and I really hate to wait that long. Any ideas as to what the problem could be?
 
is your NIC card set to DHCP? Network Places > Local Area Connection > Properties > TCP/IP > Properties.

Also, paste the output of "ipconfig /all" when ran from a command prompt.
 
DHCP is enabled.

Here's my ipconfig/all:

C:\Documents and Settings\XXX>ipconfig/all

Thanks for the link Jack, I'll go over it.
 
Autoconfiguration IP Address. . . : 169.254.194.20

It means that the computer can not obtain an IP from the Router.

Assuming that your DHCP in the Router can give more than two IPs, and the tow Wireless computer work OK.

Either the connection cable is Bad or the computer's Network configuration is Not well.

Computer's configuration can be checked by following the Link in my post above.
