Your pc's not getting its a connection to dhcp when it first boots up, this is indicated by the 169.254.x.x address. A cheap fix would be to configure the nic on the pc manually with the info from your second ipconfig /all output.

yes i thought that may be the answer, just wasnt sure, still not quite sure what all needs added and where though. but appreciate the response. would still thought like to find out why it isnt working without renewing it if i could.
Im using a InterJac 200 router
