try connecting via a ethernet lead, some wireless routers actually ship with wireless turned off

Also if its getting a 169 ip address thats a ip from windows not the router. Whats happening is the router is not issuing a dhcp address to the pc's. Quite why its not depends on the settings for that router but my linksys one did it today for no reason. I think It may have been a ip address conflict.

ahhhhh, is it a bt adsl router thing. I had a issue when i set up the adsl here because the router had 192.168.1.1 and so did the adsl modem, changed the ip on the router to 192.168.2.1 and everthing just dropped into place.
