169 Ip Address

[jhunch]

Hi,

I am having a problem with wired internet on a computer. It is coming up with a 169 ip address. The schools IP address is 139. I have done the follow things to this computer.

Malwarebytes
Super Anti Spyware
Spybot S&D
McAffe Virus Scan
Adaware Scans
chkdsk /r
CCleaner

I also tried a winsock fix as well. I also tried editing the registry key and that did not work as all. The wireless worked but the wired does not.

Thank You

if it doesnt assign an ip address then you may need to talk to the schools it department. they should be able to provide you with an ip address and dns information. or there very well could be a networking problem that needs to be addressed in regards to that specific wall socket you are using for wired internet.

I work for the school and I tried that and it should be automatic

Check your TCP/IP settings:
Obtain automatic ip address

If that fails maybe the DHCP pool is out of IP addresses to assign
Check with your admin

Can any other computer connect on that connection?
Cable good? Correct vlan - if your using them?

Try this! with windows we can do a few things there. First make sure it is set to dhcp and not static. Then try these commands:

ECHO Releasing IP Information...
%systemroot%\system32\ipconfig /release

ECHO Purging the DNS resolver cache...
%systemroot%\system32\ipconfig /flushdns

ECHO Renewing IP Information...
%systemroot%\system32\ipconfig /renew

ECHO Refreshing all DHCP leases and re-registering DNS names...
%systemroot%\system32\ipconfig /registerdns

And see what IP you get after you change the lan ip and run those commands.
