Answer» Hello
I just installed a ethernet adapter and i can not use it because it will not renew my IP address. Could some one tell me what i have to do to renew my IP addressIn Device Manager, is the new card recognized ?Open a DOS window and type "ipconfig /release" with out the quotations. That should zero out your IP info. Then type "ipconfig /renew". That should give you a new IP...unless you have your system set up for static and not dynamic IP configuration.
