Have a Dell Inspiron, running winxp. I have a dsl modem and I was going thru a wireless router. I have bypassed the router and cabled strait to the modem from the pc, but I get no connectivity. If I do a repair, it times out and if I do an ipconfig /renew, it declares unable to contact dhcp. Any ideas? My laptop is working fine thru the wireless router.Thanks,Alan1 person needs an answerI do too
