Windows ME and Router

Trying to help a friend, I'm not familiar with Win ME.

She has a Linksys router, and was using it for a long
time in her home (along with Comcast cable system) to
access the net.

She just moved, and when she hooked everything back up,
she doesn't get the internet connection via the router.
When she plugs directly into the cable modem, everything
works fine.

I know that for Win98, there's a utility (WINIPCFG or
something like that) to reset the IP address that has
worked for me in the past. Is there something like that
for Windows ME?

Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

Winipcfg is also part of Win Me.

If DHCP is enabled on the router TCP/IP on the NIC used to connect Win Me
to the router should be configured to obtain an IP address automatically.
What IP address is currently allocated to the PC? What is the IP address
of the router? Can the PC ping the router?

Thanks for the reply. I don't know the answers to these
questions, I'll have to go over to my friend's house and
see what I can do. I'll try the WINIPCFG first, that
seemed to work for me in the past.

Thanks again.
