Problem frequency: unresolved until now
Problem description:

I have linked up 3 laptop with my destop (running xp sp3) via access point connection.
2 laptops have no problem sharing internet, except the lenovo T60.
I can detect SSID broadcasted but having difficulty in accessing internet. Sometime, managed to get connected, but got booted out from internet within 5 - 10 minutes.

Performed diagnosis and the result stated that the DHCP server is not responding (Error Code: 031). I can click on a "Repair" button but that doesn't help any. I tried to repair and release the IP address via the diag tool but that didn't work either.

Appended below is my troubleshooting information:
