Guest Dan DeCoursey Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 what is that default ip address that you get when your config is bogus.... I have noticed a persistant route on my pc and I think it may have bee established by that default address that xp will assign with it cant find the dhcp server
Guest Bob I Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Re: Microsoft's "defualt ip address" you mean 169.254.xxx.xxx ?

Guest Bob I Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Re: Microsoft's "defualt ip address" With what? It means that your "automatically get an IP address" failed. Bad cable, port, or no DHCP server.

Guest Dan DeCoursey Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Re: Microsoft's "defualt ip address" I know that .... :) but once xp "gives " yout this (due to the afore mentioned failures) ...... it also writes a persistant route to the registry......... that is what I was investigation.. thanks "Bob I" wrote: > With what?

Guest Bob I Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Re: Microsoft's "defualt ip address" Not sure what you are talking about there. If you ensure you have access to a DHCP server, simply do a Release All and Renew.

Guest Dan DeCoursey Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Re: Microsoft's "defualt ip address" Bob, I did a "route print" command and saw an enrty for a persistan route. I know I did not enter this persistant route and the network number seemed familiar....so i wanted to check to verify what that defualt ip was that xp will give you ........ I think you verified the same netwrok address so I thank you for that verification ......that is it .......if you ever are ever wroking on communication issue especailly regarding routing and see this in your current routing table flagged as ""persistant" do go off wondering how in the world got that route in there ......it must happen automigically via microsoft I could conjer up a ton of paraniod laden conspiracy therories "Bob I" wrote: > Not sure what you are talking about there.

Guest Bob I Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Re: Microsoft's "defualt ip address" You're welcome. And no I would not worry about that IP address.
