If you go to start-> settings -> network connections -> Local area connection -> properties
Scroll the list down to Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click properties on it, record whatever it says on the first tab so you can set it back to it later, then change it to "Obtain IP Address Automatically", move to the 2nd tab and do the same if it's filled out.
Click the half dozen OK's, ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew and done.
When you need to go back to using the router re-enter the info as it was originally.
Nope =\. Its already on automatic.
