Can someone please help?
I am having problem recognizing my DHCP server (Linksys Cable Modem Router) from a laptop running Windows 2000 Pro and using a Linksys PCM100 card. All LED's on the card and on the router seem to be correct.
When I boot up, I get the autoconfiguration 169.xxx.xxx.xxx address assigned when DHCP cannot be reached.
This should be a VERY simple process, but it is not. I have the latest drivers for the card, I tried multiple ports on the hub. I tried a different cable. I have even re-intalled Win 2000. Nothing seems to be working correctly. I am out of options other than recognizing that there may be a hardware problem. Any other ideas?
