If its brand new, just return it to the shop.

what you get for buying a cheap laptop.

Jumbo · « **Reply #11 on:** May 25, 2008, 06:30:18 AM »

it wasnt suposded to be cheap was supposed to be like 700$ or something and i got it on sale with coupons and rebates. so thats not it . and ya i have vista home premium on it. but it really makes no sence that one of the laptops works but the ohter doesnt.

This is what i got but from circuit city.

EDIT: Im a noob with pc's and laptops. what are the drivers and how can i update them??

I also went up in progress i can connect but the internet pages dont show up for some reason.

MattZani · « **Reply #13 on:** May 25, 2008, 07:37:06 AM »

$700 is also like real cheap for a laptop, thats the bargain basement end, I would never buy a laptop for under $1000, unless it was an Asus eeePC

Jumbo · « **Reply #14 on:** May 25, 2008, 07:43:53 AM »

probly thats just for you
i only need it for every day use no what im saying/. if i was gonna get a gaming pc i would get a real good one or something like that. i onyl need for small working and stuff simalair (and for internet access)

she was asking to look at your IP address to see if you were getting apipa. a 169.192.x.x or 192.168.x.x this would verify that your network card is actually trying to get an IP address. OR to see if you were getting an IP address. They have a "Tree" that they go by, they have to start at the top and work down. Next time, just say 'transfer me to the states' and youll get stateside assitance, but youll pay more by the min with stateside. Is this resolved btw?
