OK ill try to explain...we have 3 computers in the house, we have them hooked up to a router...ok two out of the 3 comps are fine, but mine cant access the internet, it either cant find an ip address or something but when i manually configure the internet settings based off of my other computers it doesnt work and then when I auto detect settings, the dhcp or dchp server is a wierd address and the lease is expired, so I need to know what this wierd server is, it supposed to be 192.168.1.1, but the one in my room is like 68.48.112.1!! SO PLEASE, is there a way I can changed this dhcp!!

okay slow down i want some more information
so your saying your router is the DHCP Server?
If so you should be able to go into network connections and run the Network setup wizard again. if it asks you how you conect choose the option that says things about "Residential gateway or through another PC"

here is what you want to do:
control panel -> network connections
right click on your network connection and do properties
then select "Internet Protocol TCP/IP" (DO NOT select TCP/IP version 6 if its listed) and click the peoperties button
and make sure its set to obtain an IP adress and DNS server adress automatically
Once you have done that reboot and try the net again
