Above experts are correct... I would venture you are set as a static IP.<br />
<br />
Prior to making setting changes:<br />
<br />
1) Do you have a router between the broadband device &amp;&nbsp;computers?<br />
2) If not... you would likely use DHCP with the ISP (allows them to assign IP addresses)<br />
<br />
-&gt; If you have a router, you could use either DHCP or static. <br />
<br />
==&gt; also, typo in first response: &quot;c:\&gt; ipconfig /flashdns&quot; &nbsp;... /FLUSHdns<br />

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
