The search didn't turn up anything. I still can't access the menu to configure my connection.

I appreciate your help.

Weird though: your return date is my birthday. I have no Idea why that interests me, but it does.

I promised my wife that I wouldn't do any more fixing until our return, but I just saw your reply. Just try this:

Renewing your IP address in WinXP, Win2000, or WinNT

Go to START > RUN > type in CMD > hit ENTER

At the prompt, type in cd\ > hit ENTER

At the prompt, type in ipconfig /release > hit ENTER

At the prompt, type in ipconfig /renew > hit ENTER

Wait for about 10 to15 seconds, after which you can close the window. Then, open your internet browser

NB. If you still do not have internet access, try restarting your computer and opening your internet browser again.

Happy birthday!

Did that last fix help?

[Dave Dennis]

I just gave up and got a new network adapter. Everything's running like a dream now. Apparently there's not much in this world $50 can't fix.

Thanks, though, for all the help!
