388954 2005-09-17 08:58:00 Just connected to ihug's Blink broadband and am having a bit of a problem. Got a router so that I could connect to both my destop and my notebook and the desktop installed no problems. However the notebook is from work and detects the network cable as being for my work network. The ihug service guy didn't know how to fix this and suggested I ask our IT department to set it up. However I'm not supposed to have personal internet connections on this computer so they won't help me.

Any solutions would be most appreciated!

Just checked my tcp/ip properties and found that there isn't any 'Alternatate Configuration' option available as described in the above linked Microsoft site.

Any idea why?
