    Mom's laptop won't connect to internet (hp notebook, xp pro, amd athlon) - so i tried to do the good ol' ipconfig /release & renew trick, but when i try that it says something like "action cannot be performed while the media is disconnected" - any suggestions??

    Make sure you have a link light, Its sounds as if there is no connection, you can't release an address you dont have.... Try another cable just to make sure its not bad.

    YOu can also try to Ping any website to see if you get a reply. But most likely with and error like that means something is up with your cable or something is not enable.
