Help! hi, ive recently purchased a a20 thinkpad, ive upgraged it to windows xp with no problems, but im trying to connect it to virgin broadband, but it comes up with an error saying: broadbamd setup cd could not renew the IP address for your network adapter (DHCP. does anyone know how to solve this? thanks, Laura

Go to start>run, then type ipconfig /flushdns and press enter. If no luck then go to control panel>network connections, then click on your network adapter sometimes called local area connection unless it's wireless and right click>properties, click on the tcp/ip line and click properties and check the obtain ip address is ticked and select ok. Try again and if that doesnt work go back to network connections, right click on your network connection and select uninstal, then restart the notebook and it will reinstall itself for you to try again.
