Question Dchp

Mornin'

I'm trying to re-install my NTL Broadband, but I've hit a stumbling block. I've just wiped my hard-drive and re-installed XP after a few problems with the worms we've had recently (don't even go there!)... everything seems normal, until I attempt to install BB.

I run Broadband installer, and it all goes well up to the point where:

Quote:
Broadband Installer will now establish connectivity with the Internet.

Please press next to continue.
It then asks me to check the lights are on on the modem: check!

Quote:
Preparing Connection Window:

Please wait while we obtain a new IP Address.
And then I get the following message:

Quote:
Broadband Installer Window:

DCHP Release/Renew failed.

You have 1 Network Adapter(s) set to DCHP

Netgear FA311 Fast Ethernet Adapter- Packet Scheduler Miniport.
Now what's all that about then?

A) What does that mean?

B) What have I done to make that happen?

C) How do I fix it?
