I'm having a networking problem that has stumped me. One of the computers on my network can't connect. All of the others on the network run fine. I tried setting up a static IP for the PC. Every time it goes to connect it gives a 169.254.x.x IP even when I set the IP manually. I checked the ethernet cable and tried using a USB Wireless adapter. I even tried resetting the router to factory defaults. I keep getting the same results. I reset the winsock and int ip through netsh in the command prompt and switched back to DHCP and I still get the same problem. Tried reinstalling the driver on the PC, I've power cycled everything. At this point I'm completely stumped. Any advice would be helpful.

Nevermind guys I found the problem. The firewall from Avast! was interfering with the DHCP server so it couldn't get a proper address from the server. Thx guys.
