I used to use dial up for my ME and there is no problem such as infections
etc. Just got my cable broadband which when I connect it directly to my
Labtop via ethernet cable, I can surf the net.

However, when I connect the ethernet cable to my ME (desktop) I cannot
access the internet. Startcommandipconfig/all does not show any ip address
nor the gateway (both blank). Is there anything I must do before be abl to
connect to internet, thanks.
