I have two computers that can not access internet, or

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.

Did you try ipconfig /renew? If so what was the result?

An error occoured while renewing interface Local Area
