And I think I should make it clear that I am not on a network. When I try ipconfig /renew, in addition to telling me that it can't contact a DHCP server, it also says that the media state for ethernet local area connection is disconnected.

For the Ethernet adapter wireless network connection. The autoconfiguration IP address says 169.254.194.153. the subnet mask says 255.255.0.0. The IP address section is just "?" ...

Boy, I'm so confused. I hope I didn't do the same to you =I.

Had the same problem with my Netgear router when i was setting up my network in my room here. i think your problem might be that you didn't set up both computers to share that IP Address. sad part is you now have to wait for me to come back again to help you but i need to know what Windows Operating System you are using if you are even using a Windows Operating System. but if you do have a windows OS and im hoping you have something atleast from Windows 2000 to Windows XP if not its not much help i can offer you if you do have a Windows 2000 or Windows XP. if you have windows xp go to Start> Control Panel> Network and Internet Connections> Network Setup Wizard go thru the all the steps then ask you to reboot reboot the system and do the same for the other computer you have that is using the router.
