OrangesOfCourse Posted April 28, 2002 Author Share Posted April 28, 2002 hey guys and update.. i have restarted that.. no luck.. i have uninstalled and reinstalled nic card.. no luck.. for some reason it gets an ip from some where.. i dont know where.. it should have 192.168.0.x ip.. its ip right now is 169.254.107.154 so i am thinking that it does not dectect the dhcp server.. :ermm: anyone want a shot at this now?

Thank You ;) Space Guy Out The 169.254.x.x is an internal IP address assigned because the card cannot resolve a proper address. If you are using DHCP, you need to do a ipconfig /release and a ipconfig /renew at the command prompt. You can also do a ipconfig /all to see the status of your NICs.

Thats exactly right, try releasing and renewing a few times - if you keep on getting a 169 IP then there are problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 Originally posted by aco Thats exactly right, try releasing and renewing a few times - if you keep on getting a 169 IP then there are problems. what is the DHCP? is it a router? or ICS? if you've installed all your nic's now, and you have an internal IP, re-run the ICS Wizard.

The comp that is serving the internet connection should be the DHCP server. You could try assigning the IP address of the client to another address in the same subnet and use the IP address of the ICS comp as the default gateway.

aco Veteran Posted April 28, 2002 Veteran Share Posted April 28, 2002 Some things to try - courtesy of the Ozcableguy. Ensure any link lights are on at the card and on the modem Ensure all leads are tested and proven Uninstall any software that may be related to Internet or Networking, particularly firewalls & VPN clients Uninstall any dial-up or dial-in connections Check that there are no proxies configured in Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings Boot up with your XP CD and choose the repair option Good luck. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
