renewing ip address
i resently bought a laptop used off of a freind it has a new hard drive on it and i just reinstalled windows and all the drivers. whenever i connect to my laptop to the same modem as my desktop using the same cable it gives me limited or no activity and i have nothing as far a internet but my desktop works fine when it is connected. i had the same ploblem with my desktop over a year ago and went through 3 strait nights of talking to dell support to figure out it that i needed to reset the win sock. i tried that on my laptop but im not sure exacly how im sopposed to do it and not sure if i did it right. if anyone has any suggestions im open for ideas

Re: renewing ip address
More than likely, you have to log into the router from the desktop (the one that is hardwired to the router) and configure it correctly. What router do you have? What network does it say you are connected too? Does the laptop work when hardwired to the router?
