Not connecting to router
Hi,
I have HP DV6 1335 laptop. It comes with windows 7 home premium and realtek nic PCIe FE(It might be 8169). I am trying to connect it to netgear router using wire lan, its not able to connect. When i run diagnostics, it says to restart the router. I restart it and click the check again it says "local area does not have valid ipconfig". But i have 2 other laptops (a dv4(vista) and a lenovo(xp) connected to the router through wire lan). When i run ipconfig the dv6 ip address starts with 169... ,no gate way or subnet mask for the nic. But my network is 192.168.... as both lenovo and dv4 has 192.168... addresses(auto detect). I disconnected the cable and connected it with a desktop running xp and it worked fine. I tried disabling ipv6 or giving manual ip also but still the problem persists. The dv6 can connect using wireless but i want to connect using wire cable so wireless solution is of no use
thnx
