Spider.

I am running Vista Home Premium.

Striker extreme Mobo
Q6600
Linksys wrt54gs router
Connected with ethernet cable

I was online yesterday all day. I put my rig to sleep last night. It
powered off during the night. I turn it on this afternoon. No internet
access.

Every other XP machine is online fine, wireless and wired.

I have tried just about every fix I have seen:

Disable DHCP Flags
no firewalls
blah, blah, blah.
Restarted router, modem, car, dog, etc.

What can I do or try?

A list would be nice. A chatting support option would be nice. A little
instant messenger like device with a tech on the other end.

I will take what I can get.
