Ok,
Here is the deal. I am about to go insane, i have been working on this for about 4 days straight now. I think this is more than enough information to explain my whole situation. Please read the Error messages very closely to understant the Problem. Thanks alot.

My setup:
We have a T4 line comming into our house and going to a Linksys Router, which is fed to a switch then distributed over all the rooms in the house. Everyone elses works fine as far as i know. I am running a RealTek RTL8139 Family Fast ethernet NIC on my computer. But the weird thing is that i now it is RTL8139/810X and im not sure if it used to be or not. I dont think that it was. But anytime i try to reinstall the driver that is what it calls it. I am running Windows XP professional.

So up until about 4 days ago my computer would let me get on the internet just fine. I went to sleep and i got up and i could not get on the internet so i did the basic IPCONFIG Release/Renew. However i noticed that i couldn't release my IP address because it was autoconfigured to be a 169.xxx.xxx.xxx, when i should be pulling a 192.168.x.xxx as i used to be able to do. I have tried everything (uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them, deleted the keys in the registry from previous installs of the drivers so that it wasnt reading from an old driver, I have tried assigning a static IP/Subnet Mask/Default Gateway/DNS, I have even tried spoofing my MAC address, I tried plugging it into another rooms line to see if it was my switch) and now today i started stumbling across some things beyond my knowledge. I was looking through the windows manager and i came across a large amount of system errors. I have looked them all up and learned about them but i have not found a way to actually fix the problem. Here are some of the errors that i pulled out.

These are the errors that i started researching and i found some things about it but no actual way to fix it. I found a couple of people talking about it and they said that i need to edit like one or mulitple of these (dhcp.conf ; dhcpd.conf ; etc/network/interfaces ; etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf). So from there i have no idea what to do. I am gettin really pissed off with this b/c it would be 100x easier to get on the internet and just look for stuff on there but i cant. I have to go back and forth between computers that have the internet and mine. I know it is not anything that is obvious. i have messed around with all the settings and i cant pull a 192.xxx IP for the life of me. Someone please help me, i am going insane!!!
