Re: DHCP error causing Crash
first off, try the following commands from the command line in this order:

ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns

failing that, in manager, remove the network devices and then rescan.

I'm assuming the machine is assigning itself a 169 address (APIPA). This would indicate it is still trying to obtain a lease. Are your network settings set to automatically gain an IP, or have you statically set yourself up?

But surely an 86.* address would not be handed out by a router? They only use the non-routable groups such as 192.* and 10.*

It almost looks like the system is not seeing the router and is picking up an IP from the cable modem.

Sorry, I misunderstood. Thought you'd only tried removing it temporarily.
