Why are my wireless computers working but my computer connected to the router isn’t? 4

bcsurfclub asked:


I have had a router installed for over two years and my two computers that are wireless work fine. The computer that is directly connected to the router will not enable me to connect to the internet. My internet service provider indicated it was due to my IP address. I’ve powered down my modem multiple times and still no luck. Also, the IP address starts with 169.254 which my internet provider says is the problem. FInally, I connected this computer directly to the modem and it still did not work, leading me to believe this is an IP address issue. Any suggestions?
Can you advise as to how I can check the modem to see if there are still any DHCP address left for it to hand out. Also, how to check if the DHCP server can hand out IP addresses to the wired computers, not just to the wireless computers. Thanks.
