Computers & Internet - 21 October 2006

I have a Gateway Mx Notebook that was running XP but this installation is now corrupt.

There is an option in the BIOS menu to boot from LAN so i connected my laptop to a desktop running XP via ethernet and started them both up.

The laptop just says 'DHCP.......'(whilst the desktop is saying 'acquiring network address')
and then says 'no DHCP offers were received on the laptop
Could anyone please tell me how to configure this? and if it is all possible.

*Massive Multiplayer Online Game

if so, then does the server of the company keeping the MMOG on the internet affect the game's stability, and how much does their server stability affect the quality of the connection and the lagging, and loading times? does the CPU power affect the game lags too? if so, how much?

if not, then what does? their server, your computer, the CPU power of your computer, or what?

oh, and some tips on minimizing the loading times and lags of a game would be nice too
