Re: Problems with my NEW computer!
Try this on your old computer--the one you're using now--while you're still online.
1) Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt
2) Type "ipconfig /release" then press Enter (you will lose your Internet connection)
Disconnect the Ethernet cable from your old computer and connect it to your new computer. On your new computer do the following.
1) Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt
2) Type "ipconfig /renew" then press Enter
3) When you try going online with your browser and other programs that require Internet connection like Outlook Express, make sure your firewall allows them to do so.
This should work, well, at least that's what I think. If it doesn't, connect the Ethernet cable again on your old computer and do the following gain back your online access.
1) Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt
2) Type "ipconfig /renew" then press Enter
Good luck!
