Network consists of windows xp with dynamically aquired ip addresses that uses a router to access the internet.. I have set one computer with a static ip address that holds a mysql database.. now this pc is not able to access the internet anymore and when i set the browser to use a proxy server(even if it doesn't) the browser asks for a username and password.. is there any way to go around this?? hoping for your help.. thanks!!!

try to go command prompt type ipconfig /all... check your ip settings...

Make sure your fixed IP is compatible with the DHCP server. I.e., it's not using an address in the range controlled by the router.
