My internet on a friends laptop that i had jusrrecently formated doesnt work.
the internet connecton says it is limited or no conectivity. Then i try repair my connection, and an error comes up saying it cannot renew my ip address??
I then tried ipconfig/renew in command prompt and i get this error
An error occured while renewing interface Local Area Connection 2: unable to contact your DHCP server. Request timed out.
and from here on i am totally clueless....
just checked in device manager and it says there is no driver for my PCI Modem (is that 56k? if so im not botherd about this driver) and my network cntroller. Im asuming the network controller is the thing thats not letting me connect to the internet.. Ive looked on the IBM website (as its an IMB thinkpad r50e) and I cant find a network controller driver..
Specs:
1.4 celeron M cpu
248mb ram
win xp home edition
service pack 2
