Cannot renew the default 169.. IP address

[qwert85103]

Hi,

Hi,

For some reason the default 169.. IP address cannot be renewed on my system. I have tried ipconfig /release and /renew, but they don't seem to work. Even /release does not make my network adapter release the 169.. default address. I have made sure that the NIC is properly connected to the cable modem and the ping 127.0.0.1 works fine.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Try disabling the adapter and then re-enabling it. If this doesn't work then try un-installing the adapter and re-installing once the adapter is connected to the cable modem.
