| Hi.
| I have cable internet connection but I can't get online
| via ethernet card because windows doesn't allow to pick up
| my provider's ip.When I try to renew 169 ip
| autogonfiguration address in ip configuration window the
| system gives me an error "DHCP Server Unavailable Renewing
| adapter".I contacted my internet provider techsupport and
| they told me that this is a windows issue and that
| something needs to be reinstall.So my question is - what
| exactly needs to be done in order to fix this problem?
| Thanx.
