Can't access internet in Win XP (Boot Camp) since switching to Time Capsule

Question

I have been able to easily connect to the Internet using my Airport Extreme (801.11g) when in Win XP through Boot Camp on my MacBook Pro laptop. I switched to a Time Capsule (801.11n) and can access the network in Win XP but can no longer get an Internet connection. Internet works fine when in Leopard. When I try to run a network repair program in Windows, it tells me that it cannot get a valid IP address. Not sure what to try or do next??

Brian,

*Using Time Capsule via Ethernet ONLY / With Internet Access*
First verify that the ethernet cable from your ISPs modem is attached to the WAN port of the Time Capsule (little wheel icon).
Next, connect one end of another Cat-5 Ethernet cable into one of the LAN ports of the TC (<•••>). Connect the other end to your Macs ethernet port.
Go to System preferences --> Network Preferences.
At the top change "Location:" to "Ethernet Connection".
In the list on the left "Ethernet" should be at the top of the list. (If not use the Action Menu (gear button) at the bottom to "Set Service Order".)
Verify that “Configure” says “Using DHCP”.
Click "Apply" in the lower right.
Give it a moment to acquire an IP address from the TC.
“Status” should now read “Connected”.
If you wish, you can select “Airport” from the list on the left and then click “Turn Airport Off”.
Now launch Airport Utility.
Select the Time Capsule on the left and click “Manual Setup”.
Select “Airport” from the toolbar at the top.
Click “Wireless” tab.
For “Wireless Mode” choose “OFF”.
Now select “Internet” from the toolbar.
Click “Internet Connection”.
For “Connect Using” verify that it says “Ethernet”.
For “Connection Sharing” choose “Share a public IP address”.
Click “Update” and close Airport Utility.
You should now be connected to the Time Capsule by ethernet only and should have full internet access.
Let us know if this resolved your issue.
