A friend of mine bought an IBM Thinkpad, I assume by mistake. He had no problems with it until about the 2nd month of use, that is when he could not access the internet via the college network. So he sent it back to big Blue, they replaced the motherboard along with some other components. When he got it back he still could not connect. Today he got it back for the third time...it still does not work. Also (I live next door to him) he can not connect to my wireless router, but he can detect it.
Specs:
Win XP Pro SP2
Intel Pentium M 1500MHz
248MB ram
the rest can be found here:

They sent it back this time saying the os needed to be reinstalled, but could not due it b/c they did not have permision. I can understand that they did not want to reformat without telling him, but even here in PA we have something called the phone (it is used to contact people). At any rate does someone have an idea of what might be wrong, or does the os need to be reinstalled? Thanks for the help, hope I posted in the right place.
