Hi all,

When I try connecting to the internet I keep getting an error message popping up saying "this connection has limited to no activity. You might not be able to access the Internet or some network resources." It is a cable modem (Intel(R) PRO/1000 MT Mobile Connection). It seems like it cannot aquire a network address. Not sure whats wrong and why it can't connect. Thanks.

    do you have multiple computers connected to the modem through a router? Or yours the only computer connected to the modem?
