I've been advised to renew and release my ipconfig via command prompt, but it can't do this because my media state is disconnected... what does this mean and what do I do about it?!

Basically I'm trying to sort out a wireless router for my internet, and am running into problems. I have a 'wireless modem' PPP adapter which connects to the internet fine...

help?

Thanks!

I can't decide which mac computer to buy but I need an apple for work and money doesn't really matter because my company is paying for it. My old computer broke because my boss broke it (details not important) so she is paying for a new one and I can't decide which one to get.

Choice A: imac which is a desktop and is white and is either 15 or 17 inches

Choice B: macbook a less expensive laptop that is 13 inches and is either black or white

Choice C: a more expensive laptop that is 15 or 17 inches and is silver

f you was to choose between the SONY VGN-AR11M at £1500 and the SONY VGN-AR11S at £2000 and the only difference is a extra 40gb on the hard drive, slightly better graphic card and the blu ray dvd recorder, is that really worth the extra £500
