Hi,

I've bought a Netgear DG834g Router / ADSL Modem and a few card for Laptops
etc. also a PCI Card for my WIN2K Computer.

The router works great as do the 2 wireless PCMCIA cards for the
laptops........... Only problem is with the PCI card for the WIN2K computer.
For some unkown reason this connects to the router (well it can see the SSID
and i've given it a WEP key) but won't pick up a valid IP address from the
DHCP server. It reverts to a standard 169.254.xxx.xxx IP address.

Is there anyway that I can overide this and give it a 192.xxx.xxx.xxx IP
Address ?

Thanks

J
