Hi!

I just recently bought a notebook computer, and have found myself with a couple questions.

First, is it normal for the underside of a notebook computer to become very warm? Not flesh-searing or anything, just very warm. The fan system seems to be working, and I chose the "optimum setting no matter how noisy" for cooling, so maybe I'm just paranoid.

Also, in connecting to the internet wirelessly with a Broadband router, I find that every so often the laptop disconnects from the internet and says it's "Acquiring new IP address" or something along those lines. This is, of course, not the end of the world, but it is rather annoying. Is there any way I can tell it to stop doing that?

Thanks in advance for your time!
