You're still not getting a valid IP address. This is a common problem, and there are suggestions here:(I particularly favor powering down the PC and the modem, wait 60 seconds, restart the modem, then the PC and try again. A Google search on"169 IP" will find more. There is also a suggestio that "Autoconfig" is at fault. Is this Win 98? http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/showthread.php?t=18084 http://www.click2web.com/169.php https://www.restek.wwu.edu/tekhelp/169.shtml ********************************************* Host name: Home Primary DNS suffix: Node type: Unknown IP routing enabled: No WINS Proxy enabled: No ....Ethernet adapter information....

I tried using that GAteway address, but that didn't help. I just reinstalled Win XP again after a format and still having same trouble. Thanks for the help.
