I run DSL on my two computers through one router.

If I put a new HD on one of my computers and install windows onto it(basically starting over from scratch) I should simply have to plug the computer back into the router and it should connect to the internet right away.  I shouldn't have to go in and manually set up a network or anything again, correct?

Depends if you have DHCP enabled on your router.

I wouldn't know.  Alls I know is I simply plugged in my Xbox 360 and it connected to live right away.

Every time I have to reinstall my OS on my gaming rig I have this problem but never remember how I go about fixing it.
