Very odd no Connection Issue.. please help
So to make a long story short, I am using Win7 64bit. I am able to get a solid internet connection when I use an older wireless router (the connection is through the hard wired part not wireless). However, when I try to connect my cable modem straight to my computer I get the no net access issue. I would prefer not to use the wireless router, and was hoping for some insight on how to resolve this.
This wasn't an issue till about 2 weeks ago, there wasn't anything I can think of as far as me installing that would have caused this.
When run from modem to computer (sans router) the ip lists as a 169. address (I am told this is not right). I have run ipconfig and release and renew get the error that i am not connected basically so nothing happens. I have checked for the bonjour stuff and have seen nothing.
What really gets me is that everything is fine with the router connected, but without all i get is unidentified network. Can anyone toss out some ideas please, it would be much appreciated.
