Hi Guys,
Im new to this forum and am really struggling. Hope someone can help me. Ive just reinstalled a copy of XP Home on my desktop as it was running slow, but the internet was working. Ive reinstalled all the drivers and everything is running fine except i cant connect to the internet. The wireless icon is green, connected and signal strength is very good.All the other pcs in the house and phones are working perfectly on the wireless. When i click on my IE it just says cant connect. Ive trawled for a bit of online help and i think the problem is my ip address as it is 169,...... If i try to enter the ip address manually it sats DCHP is not enabled but if i auto assign it stays enabled but i get the 169 address. Im losing my patience rather quickly. Hope someone can help.Thanks in advance for replies. Ian
