    We need some more information to help you. Have you restarted your computer lately? Sometimes this is the easy way to get a new address. Follow Shadows guidelines for posting the results of an IPCONFIG. This may allow us to help you in the mean time.

    If that's all you did, then you didn't follow the post completely. Really, try this: Network Posting Tips . It will help determine what your problem might be.

    There is a built in Windows diagnostic that will search for a problem(when there is a problem) and it will generally narrow it down to a few things. Most of the time it's as useless as tits on a boar hog, but I've found that it does help diagnose some wireless problems. Next time you have the problem, in the bottom right corner, click on the network connectivity tray icon and have it diagnose or troubleshoot the problem and let us know what it says.

    wifi router IP address is 192.168.1.1

    and it assigns DHCP IP addresses to client starting from 192.168.1.10

    169.254.xxx.xxx is an autoconfiguration IPv4 address given if Windows cannot retrieve one automatically.

    Can you boot your machine into Safe Mode with Networking and see if you have an internet connection. To do so please follow this tutorial (OPTION ONE ONLY) - Safe Mode

    Please replace all references of 'Safe Mode' with 'Safe Mode with Networking'

    Also can you temporarily disable any Antivirus and firewall applications that you have installed as it may be possible for your firewall to be blocking the port used to retrieve the address stack (UDP Port 67 & 68).

    Many Thanks,
    Josh :)
