I've just purchased a Sony vaio laptop and am busy setting up the same websites and passwords that are on my main computer. I now have a screen message on the laptop:
WINDOWS HAS DETECTED AN IP ADDRESS CONFLICT Contact network administrator for help resolving this issue Can anyone offer me assistance please |

If there is no direct link for the update after you click on update firmware, , you may have to go to the routers site for it. what is the make and model of your router??? -------------------- REGARDS

A wireless laptop will only join the internet within range of a wireless router. Oh!! sorry, I just realised that you are talking about a sim card to use via a mobile phone network. I have never used one of those but if you enter the problem on google, I am sure there will be an answer somewhere. type in google something like ----3G SIM t-mobile laptop IP ADDRESS problems This post has been edited by bobhome: Apr 27 2009, 05:48 AM -------------------- REGARDS

Bob - after visiting the Windows website, there was apparently a hotfix available to fix my problem, but I was advised to wait, as it might be contained in the next windows update.
I think this might already have happened because I haven't received the system message today. Thanks for your help. |
