How to connect to the internet

My computer will not connect to the internet... I have a DSL modem that seems to be functioning properly, but when I try to troubleshoot to repair the connection, I get the error message that my IP address will not renew... What has happened and what can I do to fix it?

1.) Download WinsockFix.zip (by: Option^Explicit)
