Is that system running a DHCP Server? Maybe it is conflicting with the router's DHCP? blue78 on "169 ip address" http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/169-ip-address-1#post-79965 Thu, 26 Mar 2009 23:37:02 +0000 blue78 79965@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ bump blue78 on "169 ip address" http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/169-ip-address-1#post-79814 Thu, 26 Mar 2009 10:28:20 +0000 blue78 79814@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ oh forgot to say I have a <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/windowshomeserver/protect.mspx">WHS </a> and I did a pc restore from this which worked for about two days then when I next switched my computer back on same problem again !!!

Meanwhile, post the output of "ipconfig /all" and we can take a look at it. blue78 on "169 ip address" http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/169-ip-address-1#post-79070 Sat, 21 Mar 2009 11:24:23 +0000 blue78 79070@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ bump blue78 on "169 ip address" http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/169-ip-address-1#post-78994 Sat, 21 Mar 2009 01:07:13 +0000 blue78 78994@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ router is a dlink dir-635 and the laptop is a Toshiba satellite P200-17C I don't think the problem is with the router since I have the same problem when I tried to connect to an other router I have. This started just after I installed IE 8, I have since uninstalled this just in case that was the cause of the problem. thanks you trying to help with this.. I off to bed now since it's 2:00am here i'll check back in the morning cheers Justin on "169 ip address" http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/169-ip-address-1#post-78992 Sat, 21 Mar 2009 00:59:05 +0000 Justin 78992@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ I will need more information to help you then. 1. What is the manufactour and model number of the router? 2. What is the manufactour and model number of the computer? blue78 on "169 ip address" http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/169-ip-address-1#post-78990 Sat, 21 Mar 2009 00:54:37 +0000 blue78 78990@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ when i try with the cable yes the led on the router does light up and when i try wireless i'm only the other side of the same room Justin on "169 ip address" http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/169-ip-address-1#post-78988 Sat, 21 Mar 2009 00:50:38 +0000 Justin 78988@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ The 169.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx IP address is used when Windows is configured to use DHCP and it cannot find a DHCP server to get an IP Address from. There are many causes for this but the most likely I've found is the network is not active because for instance the network cable is not connected between the computer or for wireless the signal strength is not good. When you connect a network cable do you see the led on the router light up? Also how far is the laptop away from the router? blue78 on "169 ip address" http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/169-ip-address-1#post-78987 Sat, 21 Mar 2009 00:36:18 +0000 blue78 78987@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ just lately every time I try to connect to the internet I end up with an 169.xxx.xxx.xxx ip address with both wirless and wired. My other computers can still connect to the internet via the same router. So far i've looked into the router settings and I can see the computer listed there with the correct ip (192.xxx.xxx.xxx)address I've tried ipconfig/renew etc. and a few other ideas from looking around on the internet but no luck so far.. I hope someone out there as some ideas plz
