No specs in your profile.

1) What O/S?
2) What make/model router?
3) What IP shows in winipcfg (or ipconfig) 169.*.*.* ?
4) What ether card?
5) When you say "repairing the connection" what is it that you are doing to do this?

Run Aida32 and post the name of the ether card.

Onboard Ether card

Two routers connected? This is a problem. It makes connecting to a single
ISP account a lot more difficult. You only need one router.

I would like to know what those makes/models are. If I am going
to point you in directions that need to deal with the router I am
going to need to know what we're dealing with. All routers access
their configurations with different IP addresses.

Onboard Ether card

Install and run Aida32 and on the left side there
is Network, click the little plus sign and then click once
on PCI/PnP Network and then post here (word for word) the name
that is there. We are going to get some drivers for the ether chip/card. If there
is more than one computer connected to these routers that you are trying to
connect with then Aida32 will need to be installed and ran on them as well.

Also, could you tell me please if you are the person who connected these
routers and configured the machines or if someone else did and gave up
leaving you to sort it out.

Did you try typing command in Run...
then type ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew?

Have a look at this.....

It will help if the problem is within WinXP.

The problem could be with your DHCP server, in this case your router. Knowing what model you are using will help with configuration issues
