Try setting a static IP address which is in the same subnet as the
router. Ethernet cards that are configured for DHCP but can't
find/contact the DHCP router get a 'private IP address' assigned.

Why does the ethernet card have an IP address if there is no
network?
I have a D-Link DI-740P router that I can't install because the
adapter will not release that IP address. In order to configure the
router the ethernet adapter needs to pick up an IP address from the
DHCP server in the router. It won't do it.
I've tried forcing the release of the address using the ipconfig
/release and ipconfig /renew, but to no avail.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jude.
