Hi
I am trying to get two computers, one laptop
and one desktop both running Win XP Pro
with wireless Netgear network cards to communicate
with a DLink G504T router with DHCP enabled. The
IP addresses the router is giving to the cards
seems to be way off. Instead of 192.168.1.x I am
getting 169.254.x.y. Can anyone explain to me what
is going on and what I need to do to fix
it.
Thanks

Hi,
try disabling the DHCP on the router.
and on the computers disable automatically obtain IP
settings.
manually input the IP address starting from
192.168.1.2(subnet :255.255.255.0 & gateway: 192.168.1.1)
since the router default IP is 192.168.1.1.
and if you want DHCP server on your router
to give IP address to computers then check for
starting IP and ending IP under DHCP server on
your router
