Windows Forum / Windows Me / Networking / November 2003Trying to get DHCP to work
I have a router that uses DHCP to assign IP's. I set my ME box to obtain IP automatically, but always get a 169.254.144.33 address assigned when the router is supposed to assign 10..... IP's. At one point I had tryed to set up a hub, and had used the Home Networking Wizard. Is there something that could be overridding my new settings for DHCP? www.careyholzman.com/netfixes.htm Carey > I have a router that uses DHCP to assign IP's.

If a PC gets a 169.xxx.xxx.xxx address that means that it is not seeing the DHCP Server and is assigning itself a private address. This could be a bad network card, a bad network cable, or incorrect network settings.  SignatureRichard G.

If you manually set up the IP settings can you ping the router that is supposed to provide DHCP addresses? Often this problem is a bad network cable, NIC or hub.
