E520 - Not receiving IP address from DHCP server
New dimension E520
Connecting known good eithernet cable from router to E520, the computer never completes acquiring IP address.
When I look at the DHCP table on the router, it shows providing the computer with a valid address.
Restarted router and computer with no luck.
The router provides ip address via dhcp to all other computers on the network.
Tried to configure the enet on the computer with static ip address. It does seem to pass traffic from computer to any other device.
Router:
Linksys WRT54G V6
Subnet 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0
DHCP 10.10.10.100 - 10.10.10.149
Any ideas?

Right now I am not there and cannot run the ipconfig /all but do know that after the E520 tries to acquire address, it errors out to the 169.x.x.x address.
I also did a release and renew without success

However my ISP (TWC with VOIP) uses a Motorola cable modem that will not make a connection with having the Linksys on the 192.168.1.0 subnet.

When I connected another computer to this same network outlet in my home, it would make a connection with a valid IP address. However when I connected the new Dell, I could not get a valid address.
I troubleshot by hooking a router directly to the Dell E520's e-net port and was able to make a good connection.
I repunched the keystone jacks at the wall sockets and now am able to make a connection to the production router.
Thanks for taking the time to work with me.
I should have make sure layer 1 was working completely.

On any computer running Windows XP with SP1, disable the Windows XP firewall. It will not allow File and Printer Sharing. On computers running Windows XP with SP2, make sure that the Windows XP firewall has File and Printer Sharing checked off on the Exceptions tab. If you are running any third party firewalls, like those provided by such programs as Zone Alarm, Norton Internet Security, or McAfee Security Suite, make sure they are configured to allow local network traffic
