Hi,
I'm having a problem in connecting to the network from my laptop.
It seems that it can connect but it keeps acquiring ip address. The ip
doesn't change from 0.0.0.0.
I don't remember anything that I might have caused this problem.

I'm using win xp and the NIC is broadcom netxtreme gigabit ethernet.
Can anyone give me what could be the reason for this problem?
Thanks.

You mean you can browse the network but you are getting "acquiring ip
address" message or you cannot browse at all. What do you see if you
run ipconfig command on the cmd line

c:\ipconfig /all

Where is the DHCP server? You can try to "Repair" the network
connection on your laptop. There are probably many things to try out
if you can provide more information.
