Get message ENETO: looking up IP address from DHCP

I am just changeing my old Netgear for a new onr.  Everthing on my personal side works great now.  I also had my work computer hooked up to it and it worked fine before I switched it out.  Now when I try to log in on the work computer it says ENETO: lOOKING UP IP ADDRESS FROM DHCP AND WON'T LET ME LOG IN.  Help-everthing worked fine before I switchd it out and all the plugs are in the same place.

       Thanks for the detailed descriptions of both those devices.

       "it"?  With my weak psychic powers, I have approximately no idea what
    "log in on the work computer" actually means.  A quick Web search for a
    spelling-corrected version of your error message ("ENET0", not "ENETO")
    suggests that you might be using some kind of VPN, about which I know
    nothing.  Someone at "work" might know for whose IP address it's
    looking, and why it doesn't find it.

       Which suggests that, whatever the problem is, your (unspecified) "a
    new onr" might not be the culprit.

      Sorry, I am not very literate on computer info & I am very general.  "It"  is my Working from home computer.  I have another computer-- personal hooked up also and it working fine.  The item that is new is the Netgear.

       

      Thank you for trying to help me.

    What Netgear device are we talking about here?

    Connected how? Wifi? Wired Ethernet?

     

    Windows PC?

     

    Where do you see that message?
