Jlhd,
Have you tried to use System Restore, which should take you back to a time when things were "hunky dory"? Here's a link on how to do that:

Hope this helps.

OS: Windows XP Pro
Router: Linksys Model BEFSR41

I was using Internet Explorer and it crashed while using it. I had to reboot and after that it would not connect through the router or the modem. The other computer on the router works just fine. Any suggestions or help would be great.
