Invalid IP address
I've had a look through the FAQ bit and couldn't spot anything about this so apologies if it's been asked before.
Every time I log on to MSN I get told that my computer has an invalid IP address. It's just a case of hitting the repair button but it's annoying and I suspect something is amiss. It also takes one or two attempts/refreshes to get the Internet explorer going.
It's a Dell Dimension 1100 only a few months old.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Saab, thanks for replying.
It's wireless, with the livebox jobby downstairs. Signal strength and connection lights all show as good/normal.
What's DHCP? (I know a dangerously small amount about PC's)
Cheers
