Automatic private address in network connections
I have two computers that can not access internet, or the
network. In network connections, I can click on LAN or High Speed Internet, and in the Details section it states that it is enabled and this: IP Address: 169.254.x.y Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 Automatic Private Address What is this Automatic Private Address, and how do I get rid of it? My other computer says 'Assigned by DHCP' and it works fine. How do I change this one back to DCHP, so it will also work. |

The 169. address indicates that your computer is set to obtain an IP Address by dhcp but a dhcp server is not available or can not be connected to. Check all connections and NIC. |

Everything is securely connected, and I've tried different NICs, Also this is just a peer to peer network w/ no server. |

Describe your LAN cabling a bit, and how you connect to the web: do you have a simple (non-routing) hub or a router? Do both PCs connect to downlink ports on the hub/router/switch? Does the uplink port on the hub/router/switch go to a cable/DSL modem? Are the cables all standard Cat5 cables, or are some crossover cables? -- Cheers, Bob |

I have a similar problem with one computer on a wireless
network. A Netgear router handles the DHCP chores, but one of the computers can't see it. The network connection status box on that computer says that it has an excellent connection, but it's not getting any guidance from the router. WEP is enabled on the router and computer, and even if I enter a false key in the computer, it still says that there is a good connection. Connecting to the router with a cable works perfectly. All of the other computers in the network connect well wirelessly. -----Original Message----- Moses wrote: I have two computers that can not access internet, or the network.
