Im running my ntl broadband via ethernet on this computer. I unplugged it and put it on my other pc, but this time as USB.
QUOTE
When I install it it says "DHCP release/renew failed"
You have 2 network adapter(s) set to DHCP
I can remeber having this issue before and I belive I just unplugged the BB for few mins and tried again, but I wanted to check with you guys first before doing so...

Try unplugging the router if it worked, maybe something's getting jammed.
Basically your PC can't renew or release the IP settings, so a restart of the broadband router should do the trick. If not try this;
Start > run > type "cmd" in the command prompt type "ipconfig /release" then "ipconfig /renew" on the offending computer.
