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?

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

Our Modem plugs into the WAN port of our router, and our
hub is connected through the uplink plug to the LAN port
on the router. Our computers are plugged stright into the
hub. We have no server, but just a peer to peer network
with six computers. We use the CAT5e cables, and no
crossover cables are used in the whole setup.

Default Automatic private address in network connections

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.
