CANNOT RENEW IP ADDRESS

I UNINSTALLED AN OLD PROGRAM AND NOW I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE "CANNOT RENEW IP ADDRESS".

First, please don't post using ALL CAPS. It's considered SHOUTING!

OK now, what "old program" did you uninstall? Are you trying to connect to a router? A little more information please?

try this:

Open a command promt (start-Run-cmd-enter)

type "netsh winsock reset catolog" without the quotes. This will clear out the IP tables and let you get a new address.

Post back and let us know if this works for you..
