697583 2008-08-17 02:16:00 Apologies I meant to update it later when I had more time and ran out heh.

The problem is the auto assign just isn't working and I don't know why or how to fix it, so I went into the modem and I manually assigned an IP address to the computer looping the DNS through the modem rather than the ISP and it worked.

Sounds like the DHCP client service is not started. Out of curiosity it can be checked here. Rt clk My Computer/Manage/Services. The DHCP client should be 'Automatic' and started.
