I cannot access the network. I have configured the NIC for TCP/IP only along with the NIC. when I do a IPConfig /all I get the following: IP 169.254.157.172 DHCP Server is: 255.255.255.255 Subnet Mask is 155.255.0.0 DHCP is Enabled. The device manager shows the NIC is properly installed and there are no X's or ?'s. But when I try IE all I get is "Page cannot be displayed" I have reinstalled the OS twice. Tried to install Win98 on this machine - to no avail. I have installed the NIC in my current machine and I am using it to access the network using the same cable and of course NIC and the same Router. I cannot ping or use any of the Network commands to get outside my machine. Is there a good diagnostic to prove one of the controllers that has failed? My guess is the Mother board is failing. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Larry The infamous 169.254.* address... Worse I suppose it's got to be in ME? Alright. Assign it an IP address. 192.168.1.30 or something... Does it take it - disable it and re-enable it. Anyone remember how to manually squash the stack in ME so you can re-install TCP/IP if it comes to that? (That address is what is handed out by the OS when, well, it isn't getting a real one... DHCP is being handled by what? Did I mention I dislike networking errors but, well, I opened the group today so here I am...) -- Galen - MS MVP - Windows (Shell/User & IE) http://dts-l.org/ http://kgiii.info/ "At present I am, as you know, fairly busy, but I propose to devote my declining years to the composition of a textbook which shall focus the whole art of detection into one volume." - Sherlock Holmes |
