I have a PC running Win 2K and I have cable internet, at first my computer was setting the IP address to (169...) and I turned AutoIpconfiguration off so it would stop this. After doing that I was able to release my adapter but when I tried to renew it, it said that "an operation was attempted on something that is not a socket", could someone please help, i'm running linux and Windows ME on the same machine and I can get on the internet fine with those, its just Windows 2000, thanks in advance!!
