Hi, my 2 yr. old played and mess up my main computer and now I can't connect online. We have cable with a router and I know the cable works because I tried my laptop and it works fine. We have 3 computers, one for the mother in law, my kids bedroom and my main one in the dining room. The one thing I noticed is that their ADDRESS TYPE is ASSIGNED by DHCP and the one that does not work says AUTOMATIC PRIVATE ADDRESS. It also has a different address, the 2 computers and my laptop addresses is as follow, 192.168.2.60 (this is where the router and modem is connected), 192.168.2.14 (my kids) and 192.168.2.68 (laptop). They all have the same number in the SUBNET MASK ( 255.255.255.0) and DEFAULT GATEWAY (192.168.2.1). The one that is not working has and IP ADDRESS of 169.254.163.15 and SUBNET MASK ( 255.255.0.0) and NO NUMBER on the DEFAULT GATEWAY. I have exhausted all my little computer software knowledge that I have. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
