Hi,
Hopefully someone can help me. I've been using my compaq
M700 laptop for a few years and have never had a problem
connecting to the net with my cable connection. Last week
when I attempted to connect it simply wouldn't. I tried
the repair procedeure and all I got was that "it wasn't
able to issue me a different ip address". The ip address
that is currently being used is not the same address that
was always being used. Somehow it got changed to a
totally different set of numbers (probably a default
set). I've tried re-installing my OS (Windows XP Home
Edition) still no help. I also subscribe to AOL and re-
installed that also, and still the same problem.I went
to "Network connections and "Device Manager" Both said
the conection is working fine. I am lost at what can be
the problem. I even hooked the laptop up to another known
working line and still couldn't connect. Any help would
be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
