look for any yellow ?

[6SteW6]

the ip adrtess i get is 169.254.211.208

and no i get no yellow except next to my webcam but thats cause i havent installed the hardware yet and also it says my comps receivin on average 100 packets but isnt sending any out dunno if that helps any

that looks like an autoconfiguration ip address...that ip should be in the same range as your router..which i would assume would be 192.168.1.1 or something of that nature

[6SteW6]

so what would i do bout the ip adress then? any ideas?

[dsenette]

what's the configuration ip address of your router? it should be either 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 if you put that address into your internet browser while directly connected to the router you will get to it's configuration page


edit: i should have asked you this before..but how do you connect to the internet?

192.168.0.1 oh yea i remeber that! so i would just reconfigure my router? and why is this comp still got a connection if its to do witht he router?

[6SteW6]

i connect to the net through a modem its high speed blueyonder? is that what you mean? or is there somethin else? lol i told you i was slow.

[dsenette]

is this a dsl modem or cable modem?

in the mean time......reset your modem...turn the power off...unplug the power...and hold the power button down for 5 m inutes...then plug it back in and try the connection

[6SteW6]

its cable and ive already tried resetting the things many many times lol
