I am trying to hook up two computers to the internet
throught LAN connection. One is running Windows 2000
Professional and the other is XP Professional. The XP
computer will not let me renew the IP configuration. It
tells me that the DHCP server cannot be reached. Is there
any way to fix this?
 
As far as i know you have to have a DHCP ip address and
not a static one. This means that windows has to choose a
ip address for you and when you choose one yourself you
cannot renew or release the static ip address.

Hope this helps you!
