Hi there, I have been trying to set up a couple of computers for my girlfriend and her brother, and although I can get her computer (a MAC) working just fine both directly to the modem, or through the wireless router, I cant get her brothers to work. I have the wireless card working fine, but his laptop just wont find the internet. I tried running the NTL disc on his laptop with it connected directly to the modem (ethernet), but it keeps coming up with the message that it cant renew the IP address. Can anyone suggest a solution that would allow me to force it to renew its address (and would that work?)
