Auto Ip assigned but see's network router? DHCP on

[Rod]

Hey everyone,

This has kinda stumped me. I've never seen this happen
before? I've got a home network setup with a wireless
router using DHCP within the router. Typical settings in
the router,...192.168.1.1 home and then it farms out ip's
based on that. For some damm reason my desktop PC
continues to get a auto ip address issued to it?
169.xxx.xxx.xxx. I've verified all the setting on other
PC's on my network and they are all correct? As a matter
of fact, the PC in question actually see's the network and
shows a 100mb connection! It's a wired connection on the
PC in question, sorry.
Anyhow, I just can't figure out why it won't get an IP
from the Router and keeps assigning itself an auto IP
range address? The PC in question is setup to accept a
DHCP address from the router (no IP statically assigned)
and no DNS statically assigned either. Really Wierd!

Any help or question would be appreciated and answered
quickly! I'm working this issue as we speak!

Thanks,
Rod

The 169.xxx.xxx.xxx is a default meaning that there is no conenction
to the net. Something is misconfigured. I would uninstall the drivers,
remove the card, restart the computer WITHOUT the card, then restart
the computer with the card back in, reloading the drivers when asked.

Did you set the router up for enough IP's in DHCP? Check the router setup.
