Renewing IP Address / Flushing ARP Cache

Hi,
I have a desktop that used to be connected to a Netgear Wireless Router. I
no longer have the router connected to the desktop and tried to set-up a
modem this weekend but am having problems. I have tried to release and renew
my ip address. It won't release or renew. I have tried to repair the issue
but I get repair failed: Renewing IP address and Flushing ARP Cache.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi
There is a difference in the way the setting is done via a Router than the
way it is done directly to the Modem.
There might be an Authentication problem (ID/PW/MAC address), or and,
special IP settings are needed to establish Internet connection rather than
a LAN connection.
When connecting directly to a Modem the ISP should help, call them and ask
for advice.
