To change your nickname you have to private message Richard1 and ask for it to be changed, and tell him what you would like it changed to.

What does the IP start with?
What broadband modem are you using?

The ip is 169.254.150.119
the submask is 255.255.0.0

10/100 Marvell 88Ec031

err no, that's the the network adapter.

What is the modem please?

[NooNoo]

The ip 169 start is a bad ip which windows issues when it cannot contact the dhcp server. The dhcp server is nornally embedded in the modem, the router or is provided by the ISP directly.

Mask,when i try to release and renew the inconfig it says there ocurred and error contacting my DHCP and the DNS.
My firewall its set to off and everything else is fine.
Please any help would be apreciated!

Thanks in advance.
Edit:im not using a router and the 2 firewalls are off,windows firewall and nforce.

Do you have a DHCP on your network? Do you know the management IP of your router? Have you try static ip entries?

Hello,thanks everyone for your help

The modem is a Linksys cable modem model:BEFCMU10 Ver.4.
im not using a router the modem is connected direclty to the pc and the adapter is set to automatically get an ip adress and dns.

I have a second pc running xp aswell and im not having the same problem with this pc.

So the modem is connected via the USB cable and not the ethernet cable?

here is the user manual for your cable modem/router

[PBase001]

Cable modems is known to bind itself to the first MAC Address that it sees and therefore only allow that device to get an IP Address.

Power down the cable modem (swtich or pulling the plug) for 3-5 minutes and power it back up.

IPCONFIG /RENEW

from the command line or reboot your computer and see if that helps.

And that's why people use routers to overcome the one IP limit.

Hope it works for you.

If you don't want to use a router just call your ISP and tell them you want to be assign two valid IP addresses to your service for about $5 extra a month.

For those of you who still have a problem, I've found that this driver works:

It's an NVIDIA Lan Controller Driver.
