Limited or no connectivity LAN

[piratesteve83]

I have a Dell Dimension 2400 Series running Windows XP Service Pack 3.  My LAN controller is a Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller.  My computer says the device is working properly.  When I unplug the ethernet cable and then plug it back in, it says "acquiring network address" and then goes to "Limited or no connectivity".  This connection problem happened after unplugging the cable from the router and then plugging it back in.  Any help?

Try switching off the Router and PC , then switch the router back on and wait for it to connect (usually the internet / broadband light goes green) , then turn the PC on.
