Blueyonder modem connection

Hi there,

yesterday I had Blueyonder cable installed with a Motorola SD 50150i modem. I
successfully loaded the ISP software on my laptop and got the internet
connection running.

I also want to connect my PC so I bought a Netgear wireless router and USB
card so that I could connct my PC as it is too far from cable socket to
connect by wires.

Tried setting up router on the PC which was ok until it wanted an internet
connection which I obviusly don't have yet, so decided to connect PC direct
to modem first.

Connected PC to modem and tried to run BY software but although my network
can see internet connection I cannot connect - am sending data but not
receiving.
Checking BY helpsite suggested that IP address was problem - followed their
instructions ( cmd, ipconfig/release) on laptop then tried to install again
on PC.

No joy! ..and after many hours of grief decided to go back to laptop so I at
least had one internet connection

Now can't get it to connect either - tried cmd, ipconfig/renew but error is:-
an error occured while renewing interface local area connection:unable to
contact your DHCP server. Request timed out.

release/renew command on PC generates error:-the operation failed as no
adaptor is in the state permissable for this operation.

Can anyone help please?
