Hey,
I am trying to set up a friends virgin internet connection. They only got the cable modem put in yesterday, so i've been trying to set up the connection with the CD that is given.
I've just been following the instuctions on it (plugging in modem, then connecting ethernet cable etc) and everytime I try I get a problem with getting an IP address. The message given is something like "Unable to renew IP Address from the server (DHCP)".
Now none of us are very computer literate, so it may be something simple. Any ideas on what the problem might be?
P.S. I have tried disconnecting cables and turning power off a few times.
