Hi,
Problem with a laptop connecting to the internet through our LAN.
Firstly if i set it to obtain an ip auto, the router is supposed to give it
one (router ip: 192.168.0.1) but it will be given 169.254.133.161 subnet
255.255.0.0. All totally wrong.
But, if i force an ip onto it i.e : 192.168.0.15 subnet 255.255.255.0
(including gateway ip and dns ip as the router) it will show as this on an
ipconfig in cmd prompt. Alas this does not seem to help, it still wont let
me connect. But, i can ping every other PC on the network inc router.
After days of trying everything i can think of, i have not manged to get it
to work, so any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thankyou
Larry
