Re: Lost Network connection ???
From: Laurent Daudelin [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm not sure what is wrong, but in my experience, D-Link routers, when acting as DHCP servers, provide IPs in the range of 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.199 by default. I don't understand how your working Mac can get an IP address of 213.66.212.57. What I think is happening is that your D-Link, for some reason, isn't acting as a DHCP server and doesn't distribute IP addresses anymore. The one your working Mac has is probably provided by your Internet Service Provider DHCP server. When your Mac 2 tries to connect, the DHCP server of your ISP denies giving it an IP address, so it defaults to 169.254.244.32. So, I would check your D-Link configuration, specially the section about DHCP... I think you're right as when I try to log onto the router (192.168.0.1) nothing happens, nor does the print server part of it work anymore. When I've finished with Carracho I will check out the firmware status and reset the thing. Maybe... Cheers! Larry _ Don't just search. Find.

Lost Network connection ???
I have a simple setup OS X.3): ADS modem ! D-link router ! ! Mac 1 Mac 2 And they've been working fine until recently when one of the Macs has lost contact with the Internet. When I check the Network settings, the working Mac has IP 213.66.212.57 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0 but the other one as a self assigned 169.254.244.32 and more pussling, the subnet mask 255.255.0.0 I have actually had exactly the same problem with a friend's iMacs and OS 9.2, but I put that down to a crap cable, though it was never verified. Here I have tried two different cables and restarted, and tried different ports on the router. It did work fine until it just suddenly gave up... ?! I presume the subnet mask has something to do with it (I really must do an IP basics course!!) Any help would be much apreciated. Larry _ Don't just search. Find.
