Re: No DHCP
The 169.x.x.x is an APIPA(automatic private ip addressing) IP address, your computer assigns itself one of these addresses when it can't find a DHCP server.

Did you say you were going to try safe mode with networking? What were the results of this?

On the PC that won't get an IP address, have you ever had Zonealarm or any other firewall software installed on it?

BTW, the way I under stand this is that Lee has got: 2 x wired pc's, both on DHCP, only one working and 2 x laptops on wireless set to DHCP that are working.
