Re: Vista Network Crisis
Just bumping my own thread, still not getting anywhere, got a suggestion on another thread that was fruitless, but the more information that might help someone help me, the better off right?
YounGun said: Hi,
From your screenshot I can see that the computer is unable to get an IP address: 169.254.x.x is the automatic private ĪP adressing, which the computer uses whener it is not assigned a static IP address or it cannot contact a DHCP server to get an IP address.
For starters, please go to Network and sharing center > Manage network connections > right click the connection you are using > Properties > double click on IPV4 > set the IP address 192.168.1.9 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 Gateway 192.168.1.1 and as nameserver put 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
Tell us how that works out.
I did the above, and the results for Windows Network Diagnostics are: "Cannot communicate with Primary DNS Server(208.67.222.222)" "Network diagnostics pinged the remote host but did not receive a response." It presents me with the options: A problem with your network router or broadband modem might be preventing an internet connection, and gives me the power cycle suggestion, Change the settings for network adapter "Local Area Connection", and Reset the network adapter "Local Area Connection". Oh my. Well, not quite lions and tigers and bears, but I'm still in the jungle.
Where to go from here?
Thankye kindly, and keep those suggestions coming.
