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.

program, you should do the following to be sure none of these are present on
your system. Some variants of malware can replicate themselves over and
