I have a customer that has a problem that has totally stumped me...

OK the computer is a HP Pavilion a1600n running media center. It stopped being able to open web pages or ping anywhere after a storm. The dsl modem has been replaced as well as the filters. This computer can connect anywhere else but home. I can connect using my laptop with no problems...

I've reinstalled XP and even put a new nic... no luck...

The phone co says it's the computer.

But the computer connects everywhere else....

I can connect at the house using the same equipment as the HP.

The computer can get online at another house that uses the same provider...

I have done everything I can think of trying to get this thing to work but as soon as I hook it up it's a no go with internet.

I can get a ip address but can't do anything else.

Any suggestions?
