Hello folks, here's the situation. I just moved into a new house and my
roomates have our internet connection shared through a hub. Everyone is set
up to just obtain their ip's and dns servers automatically, when I set my
connection to do that it assigns a weird ip address like 164.x.x.x which is
not in the right range. I've read a few posts about this being due to sp2 and
to just reset your router. I'm writing this at work so i'm hoping to get this
figured out for when I go home. So anyways I figure no problem, i'll just
assign a static ip and dns servers. So I did an ipconfig on someone elses
machine in the house and got the info and put it in. Once i did that the
'limited or no connectivity' message went away and my connection icon looked
normal. However I still couldn't browse the web or ping anything. I would
REALLY appreciate some help with this. Thanks in advance.
