OK, so i have done a fresh install of Windows Xp Pro, on a freinds laptop, he had 137 Viruses on his pc, so the set up all went perfectly.
Then i come to connect it to the internet with the ethernet cable, ran the ntl setup disk, wont work, it will connect fine though, with a usb lead.
So i connected to the net with a usb lead, updated the drivers for the modem, tried running it again. doesnt work.
Problem is, his PC has to connect using ethernet, and also he doesnt have the correct leads.
When i unplug the ethernet cable, i get a prompt saying, "network connection unplugged", and in the network status it says it is connected.
The NTL installer says it cannot complete installation due to DHCP problems, and an unrecoverable IP
HELP!
