strange school network problem
i just installed windows 7 rtm on my computer, but it won't connect to the internet.
i connect to the school network with a cable. i had the rc before and it worked just fine, but now it doesn't work. i have a laptop with the rtm and that works just fine.
whats strange is that, the computer tries to use a 192.168.0.* address while on my laptop where it works, it uses a 158.38.88.* address, i tried setting my computer up with a static address but my school network doesn't seem to support that.
besides it also seems to use different dhcp adresses
one has has the 192..... address
while the other has the 158.... address
does anyone have any idea what the problem is and how to fix it?
as a temporary solution i have connected the cable to my laptop and made an ad-hoc network
