No internet access with one of networked pcs

Hi. I am going crazy with one of the pcs on my network. I have great signal
strength, but cannot access the internet. When I check the ip config, the
address is 0.0.0.0, and when try to ping the router, it says that the
destination host is unreachable. I have talked to Linksys, and they say that
it MAY be a tcp/ip stack issue? Whatever the heck that is?!?!?! Can anyone
help me?

Greetings Kubiegirl,

See the following MS KB Article.

"Ipconfig" Command Reports IP Address 0.0.0.0

Hi

Since it is Wireless you should consider both the issue as stated in Eric's
link + Viable Wireless Connection.

The signal strength is a combination of the actual 802.11x signal + Phone +
Microwaves + other sources that might generate 2.4GHz "Noise" + Brain
emissions of the user's anxiety state (j/k), in other words it is visual
representation of all the 2.4GHz in the atmosphere around the your Wireless
hardware.

I.e. you might see High Signal Strength that Shows: Excellent = 30% signal
+ 70% noise.

The real measure of the Wireless signal capacity is Signal to Noise Ratio
(SNR), a measure that takes into consideration the relevant Signal adjusted
to the Noise Level. Unfortunately, none of the Entry Level Wireless drivers
provides such a measure.

May be this can Help.

If none of them help you should connect the computer to the Router with a
cable and make sure that your basic Windows setting are working.

If you need to fix the underline base of the TCP/IP Stack look at the end of
this page there are few links to resources on this matter:
