Well lets see. I have a friend of mine that just purchased a computer from her college for school work. When she got this brand new computer home the first day (I took it out of the shipping box) I checked it out it was supposed to have a 2.2 gig Amd processor in it ..and it didn`t ...it clocked in at 1.6 gig, video card was supposed to be brand new ati card but it came with a 128 nvidia card in it. There was no restore disk sent with the computer and when we did finally get a restore disk ...it wasnt. It was a burned copy of Windows xp home and then the oem numbers didn`t match. The last problem was the back of the case was dinted in. not much but enough. LOL now on to my problem. She wanted on cable internet ...which I have setup millions of times before through usb and network cards. this one I just couldn`t get. It would not renew the ip address. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to get it hooked up. the o/s is Win xp pro with a 5100 surfboard cable modem and usb 2.0 ports
P.S. I did tell her to take it back but she didn`t want to ( I think the computers screwed)
