A clear explanation of the problem you are having: "Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following action cannot be completed: renewing your IP adress"
What doesn't work: cannot get second computer a internet connection (host computer is fine and well connected)
What does works: the internet on the host computer, router, cards on both computers show that a signal is being sent, the green light is flashing on the host& client computer, as well as the router.
What you've tried: pulled out everything from the plug and tried to connect again
A description of your network: DSL
Whether you have a router, and if you do then what model it is: Linksys Model BEFSR41-CA ver.2
Do you have multiple PCs networked: yes, two.
Is it wireless or not: wired not wireless
Are you using Internet Connection Sharing (ICS): yes.. attempting to share the internet between the two computers
The OS(s) you are using
Windows XP Professional (host computer)
Windows XP home edition (client computer)
Can anyone tell me a solution to renew the IP adress? Previously we had cable and the two computers worked fine.. a few days ago we moved to a new area where the cable internet is not available and now we have ADSL and a different service provider. I don't think this is the problem and I don't understand why the computer cannot obtain the IP adress. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
