If your router is set up to hand out network addresses with DHCP, you may have a problem. You can check this in the router's config, or even from the PC by typing ipconfig /all at a command prompt. Look for "Dhcp Enabled: yes" on the PC. I couldn't figure out how to get Genesis under OS 3.9 to use DHCP so I just assigned my miggy an address within the range the router was set up to use, such as 192.168.1.10. I also had to manually plug in the DNS server addresses and gateway address. Those can be gotten from the router or the PC again with ipconfig /all. With all that typed in, it did the trick, and my miggy went broadband. :)

Hopefully somebody else has a better solution we can both learn from.
