Customer's got WinME. After FINALLY getting him pingable and browsing (after a few reboots, configurations, and dynamic setup), I took the time to make sure he could release/renew all of his IP's. What happens when he clicks "release all"? He gets the error something similar to "cannot release because there is no IP address to release." :|

I'm stressed, so I just have the sub click Renew All. What happens? Error about DHCP server not available for renew. He's then not able to browse, but is still pingable.

:|

I had him reboot for the hell of it, and he can browse now. :confused:

I don't get it. This sucks. I don't understand what is going on and I'm too stressed to think clearly. Computers give me headaches. :confused:

Can he ping the gateway but not beyond? Or can he ping anywhere outside the local domain? Is the DHCP server up?

I didn't have him browse, but I'm going through some things that just popped into my mind -that being one of them.

--HA... forget it. Going to be replacing his hardware.

USB NIC's suck!
