Here is my set-up. Win XP Pro PC (dynamic IP 192.168.x.x -> Linksys Router (Static IP) DHCP Server -> ADSL modem. This morning my connection just disappeared. The ADSL light on the modem is steady on and so is WAN light on my router. I tried disconnecting from the router and connecting directly to the modem and still nothing. I disabled firewall (Zone alarm), ran System Restore, even called tech support. They checked my line and said everything looks ok and that I should be online. My friend suggesting re-installing XP. Any ideas?

My NIC is ok, responds to loopback fine. All I can ping is Default Gateway, nothing else.
