Sounds like you mean a windows problem!

Go to network connections (Start > Control Panel > Network Connections) you should see your connection, right click it and select properties. You will now see a new window, in this window select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then click the properties button. In this window simply select all the radio buttons to obtain automatically.

I hope this is what you mean; otherwise further explanation is needed...

You should set it to automiatic, if you are now getting the registration page it means the MAC is incorrect for your area or is now invalid and you need to flash a new MAC for your area. If you look round the forums you will be able to find information on how to do this.
