Network Router User Manual

Troubleshooting

B. I am getting an IP Address that starts with 169.254.xxx.xxx

If you are getting this IP Address, then you need to check that you are

properly connected to the Router.

Confirm that you have a good link light on the Router for the port this

computer is connected to. If not, please try another cable.

If you have a good link light, please open up a DOS window as

described in the previous section and type ipconfig/renew.

If you are still unable to get an IP Address from the Router, reinstall

your network adapter. Please refer to your adapter manual for

information on how to do this.

C. I have another IP Address displayed

If you have another IP address listed then the PC may not be

configured for a DHCP connection. Please refer to “Configuring

Client TCP/IP” on page 11 for information.

Once you have confirmed your computer is configured for DHCP, then

please follow the steps below.

1. Open a DOS window as described above.

2. Type ipconfig/release.
