Hi guys,
I have been having some problems with my home network, namely intermittent connectivity on my pc that is in my basement. It has been working fine until recently. It seems I may be getting closer to fixing it in that by changing channels in my router ( I'm now on Channel 10) that pc tells me that the wireless network is "available". However the router isn't giving it a 192.168.....ip address. When I run ipconfig I'm only getting an ip address listed next to "Autoconfiguration IP address and it is a 169.254.xxx.xxx address, and I can't connect to the net.
I'm over my head at this point. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Gary
P.S. My setup is as follows: I have three pcs, one desktop (Win XP Pro) connected directly to wireless router (Linksys WRT54G), one desktop (Win XP Pro) connected to network via Linksys Wireless "B" USB adapter, and a notebook (Win 2000 Pro) connected to network via Linksys "G" PC card.
