Are you using internet connection sharing via one of the ME boxes?
You might be getting you windows-style default IP address from one of
them.
No, I'm using a Dlink router. All other computers on the network are fine.
I assume you usually have a 10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x as your IP
address, right? That's what would be coming from the router's DHCP.
Yup. 192 etc.
I, too have a 3400c in a mixed environment with Win 2000 boxes (is ME
really 2000 without the steroids? -joke) and when internet connection
sharing can't find a "Real" IP address, it gives itself that
169.154.x.x address.
Can you access the router via a browser? Make sure it "sees" the
3400c. My router can with software for the PCs that will give a list
of all attached nodes (the wireless router, that is).
Doesn't see the 3400c, but sometimes I can access the router from the
3400 but not the Internet.
Hope something here helps,
Ted
"Moreover, I
am using win m.e. on 3 of the pcs connected to the network. Coincidence?"
Thanks for the suggestions, Ted. I guess the adage here is 'when in
doubt, check the hardware first.' I had reset the router many times and
uninstalled then reinstalled the software drivers many times. The last
thing I did, which solved the problem was to , uh, jiggle the wireless
antenna. Tightened it a bit although it was pretty tight already. Go
figure. It's in my workroom and no one touches it. Anyway, it's working!
Thanks again, Ted.
