Re: connection problem
The laptop has 2 potential network connections, wired and wireless. It may be that the system is getting 'confused' about which one it should be using. In situations like this I have had some success by disabling the unwanted connectoid.
Try going to Network Connections/Properties to view available connections. Right-click and disable the wireless adaptor.
Make sure that the wired connector has TCP/IP properties set to get all automatically.
Now power off laptop and cable modem. Power on cable modem and let it stabilise before booting laptop.
