Hi,
Well..I'm stumped on something..
I have a PC across my house that connects to my Belkin repeater that gets the signal from my Belkin router. This setup has been working fine for several months...
Last night, the PC got the error: "Limited or No Connectivity" after trying to retrieve the IP from the router. I know this problem occurs when you have a protected network such as using WEP/WPA..but my network is completely unsecured and open. This is the IP address and subnet mask that it eventually gets: 169.254.0.16 ; 255.255.0.0 - These are not even close to the "normal" range..the connection strength hovers from good - very good.
Here comes the weird part: I put my laptop next to the far away PC. My laptop picked up the signal fine W/O ANY PROBLEMS...and so did the PC! When I moved my laptop away, the wireless went, once again, to "Limited or No Connectivity".
Very strange...I've never had this problem for 4-5 months..and all of a sudden(keep in mind, I made NO changes on my router/etc. these past weeks).
My laptop can pick up the connection fine all over my house..so I'm not sure what-the-heck it is...Any ideas???
One more thing: I restored my friend's HP Pavilion a320n with Win XP, restored the network drivers from factory, and it displays the same "Limited or No Connectivity" when plugged directly INTO the router!!! This might be of a different cause...either way, it's extremely weird!!
I've tried restarting my router/dsl modem, computers, repeater, host computer, adapters, etc. I've also restored my router settings back to "factory".
Any ideas, comments, suggestions?
