Re: ADSL ROUTER WEB BASED CONFIG

Hi Thanks for the Info,

My Laptop detects that I have plugged the device into the ethernet port, but
allocates the 169.254 ip address, and I guess, that the laptop cannot see the
device. as it should, - could my Networking Settings be AWOL?

I am not experienced at all with Networking, as I am a Software Programmer.
but if i change the TCP/IP settings & manually config them, it tells me
192.168.0.1 is in use by another device? an Intel Wireless card, that I dont
have!

I see the 169.254.x.x IP Address in Connection Status.

i know this is wrong, is there anyway I can remove the so-called installed
IntelWireless Card from having an allocated IP Address? and restore default
Network LAN Settings?
