I have a D-link wireless router with a PCI adapter and im trying to get some internet access... i hooked it all up and it says that there is an excellent wireless connection but I have no connectivity to the internet.. i cant do anything with the internet... I check the IP and its a 169 ip but I was told I need to get a 192 ip address and then it would work... I tried shutting down everything for 20 + mins and then throwing it all back on but that did not solve the problem.

anyone know of anything that I can try to do to fix this problem ??
