Assigning IP and Subnet Mask (Important!)
Is your computer hanging?
Also, I bet your computer hangs while restarting and shutting down, correct? I'm not sure if you have done this yet, but it's worth a shot.

1. Click Start>Settings>Control Panel
2. Double click Network
3. Look for your network card. (Make sure it's a TCP/IP protocol) Example: TCP/IP Lynksis LNE100TX Fast Ethernet Adapter
4. Click it and choose properties.
5. Select IP Address from the tab.
6. If Obtain IP Address Automatically is checked, uncheck it and choose Define IP Address.
7. Enter 192.168.0.1 into IP Address.
8. Enter 255.255.255.0 into Subnet Mask.
9. Click Ok on each Window and when it asks to reboot, do it.
10. Now your browser won't hang, neither will your computer when it boots up and shuts down.

I don't know. I think a router automatically does that or something. I've never messed with a router, therefore I don't know what it does. Does your computer hang while shutting down? Does your browser freeze then all of a sudden start browsing again? If so, you can try it. But if you're going slower, can't connect, or anything else weird... just remove the settings. Good luck.
