IPCONFIG cannot renew

[jmc422003@hotmail.com]

Try going into the adminstrative wed of the linksys router,
usually IP address 192.168.1.1 and make sure that the DHCP
server is enabled.

When you connect, a windows usually pops up. The username
is blank and the password is "admin".

If the DHCP is enabled try, setting your computer in the
dmz and see if it gets and IP address from the ISP.
