If you are not sure how to manually setup your network can you goto "network and sharing center" then click "view status" of the connection then click "details"

1. In the details tab you should be able to see if your using dhcp for automatic setup and what ipv4 settings your using.

2. When your adapter is working and connected write down the numbers for your ipv4 ip address, subnet mask, default gateway and dns.
click close on the details tab then click properties for your local area conection

3. untick IPV6 as this will not be used for anything for the next few years also untick link-layer topology as these are used for vista to identify other vista clients and devices, they are not needed for much and are quite talkative. dubble click internet protocal version 4 and use the details you recorded before to setup your connection.

4. once finished click ok then click ok again and you should have finished setting up your connection manually.

Let me know if this helps.
