obtain an ip is checked, reads that crazy ip number and it wont release it, and when i try to renew it says there was an error getting th ip address. the router is fine, cause the cpu im on works fine through it. Signed, Joseph Perez

the router is a netgear mr814v2 modem is a netopia (dsl modem) the cpu specs are win xp home, amd 2400+, 1 gig pc2700 ram. now the ip is supposed to be a 192.168.0.x and its on a lan. all began when my cpu restarted on its own and its never been able to connect since. thanks for you help.

hi, im sure many of you have seen this problem a few times now but its new to me. I have 2 computers on a lan in my room, both run xp home but on has decided to not recive a ip address from the router (or from the dsl modem itself) it gives me an ip number of 169.254.214.187, ive tryed a new card, new cable, new driver, tested out both router and modem both work fine. Ive looked throught these forums for fixes but none wish to work for me heck ive even reinstalled win xp 2 times and still nothing. Is there and way at all to fix this, cause even try to manually set in the setting and still nothing. i thank you all for you time. Signed, Joseph Perez
