Hello - My wired DSL connection on my Dell Dimension desktop had been working fine until I added a wireless laptop to the network.  Ever since that day my desktop receives a "aquiring network address" message when it's started and it never connects via the "Local Area Connection".  My ISP (Verizon Online) provides software that sets up a PPP connection for Broadband that gets my the the internet via the DSL connection but it's manual each time I boot up.  Has anyone experienced similar issues and if so what can I do to restore or repair the "Local Area Connection".

 

Thanks,

Howie
