Open up a command-line shell and type 'ipconfig /renew' at the prompt.
If that doesn't work, type 'ipconfig /all' at the prompt and see how many
adapters your system thinks you have. If only one is listed (e.g. 3Com
3C920 Integrated Fast Ethernet blah blah blah), then we'll have to try
something else.
