Umm - what kind of connection is it?
 
Cable, i got it working by plugging it into the modem instead of the router, very strange
 
From the limited information. You may need to buy a Crossover cable or a little donge you can put at the end to convert the cable to a crossover cable..

:confused: Why would he need a crossover cable?

Sounds like the router is fubar. Try resetting the router back to the default settings. Also what kind of router is it?
 
dlink 624, i think its the router too, because if its plugged into the modem it works
 
strange in the router it says it assigned the computer a ip address. i also tryed reseting to factory settings
 
What OS is your downstairs PC runnning? If it's Windows XP with SP 2 installed you could be getting a fairly common error. The easiest way to recover from it is to assign a static IP address to the PC. You can also go to a command prompt and type:
netsh winsock reset
and
netsh inet ip reset
then reboot

Those two commands should rebuild the registry keys that have become corrupt and are causing you problems.
