I've bought THREE new laptops in a week.
I've returned the first two, thinking something is wrong with them, but
now the third is doing it.
When attempting to connect to my wireless network, I get excellent
connectivity, but it won't assign a decent ip to it. It should be giving
me 192.168.1.25 or so - but instead it gives me 169.xxx.xx.xx. That
doesn't work.
I've read everything everywhere for a week. I've patched, uninstalled,
reinstalled and I just don't know what else to do.
I tried manually assigning - but I don't seem to know exactly what
numbers go where.
I have two desktops that have no trouble with their wireless connections.
It's a Linksys WRT54GS and similar cards on the desktops.
The laptops have had various cards.
Is there any fix for this? From the on line stuff I've seen, this is a
huge problem - but I couldn't find any messages on this list that seemed
to address it directly.
Thanks for any help! I'm desperate and worn out.
