Re: DNS and DHCP

Chuck,

I checked my McAfee Firewall and made sure that it trusts my DNS addresses,
but that didn't solve it. One thing, though, when I brought my computer out
of standby, I received the "Limited or no connection" message. I tried to use
Repair but the IP Address couldn't be renewed. So I also tried
ipconfig/renew, but it couldn't contact the DHCP server... Could this be
another effect of the same problem? (At the time I first posted this problem
ipconfig/renew is successful, until today.)
I talked to my computer manufacturer and they said that I should reinstall
my network driver with its cd. I'm not sure if I have it, but I did see a
driver download (Intel PRO/100 VE Network Connection) in the Microsoft
website. Would that work just as well? The system doesn't detect any problem
with it so far.
