| I have a trendnet tw100-s4w1ca router, a desktop with xp, and a laptop

| proper ip from the router. Every once in a while when I reset the
| router, the desktop does get the correct ip, but is lost as soon as the
| dsl modem is connected.
|
| The modem is a speedtouch ethernet. I'm by far a newbie at computers,
| but I've tried assigning the ips manually, only to get a message at xp
| and 98's startup saying there is an ip conflict, when both ips are
| indeed different.
|
| I've searched, and found nothing. Could someone please shed some light
| on this?
|
| TIA.

Is that desktop IP address 169.254.x.y ?

Yes it is, and yes I do realize that that means it's not receiving an ip
from the dhcp from the router. It's not a cable issue, as I have tried
numerous cables, and I'm using one of those right now directly connected
to the modem to post this.

So I guess my real problem is, how do I get the xp desktop to get an ip
from the router on a regular and stable occurance?

TIA

Yes, that's IPAutoConfiguration at work.

You can turn off IP Auto Configuration by creating and merging the following....

Copy and paste the following between the dashes (-----------) and save as FixIPAuto.REG then
double-click on the file and allow the Registry merge to occur.

-----------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{813C26C9-
EB43-4993-BF12-2EDCEDF8FB42}]
"IPAutoconfigurationEnabled"=dword:00000000

-----------

Is the NIC motherboard embedded or is it a PCI card ?

I figured that's what is going on. The reg script isn't working. Xp is
giving an error that it's not a valid yadda yadda... Can I not modify it
directly is administrative tools?

Nevermind... I entered it manually, and have received no errors as of
yet... But I'm setting up my laptop now, as it seems to be having the
same problem. I have just installed the ipac_off.inf file from the 98
cd. Now I am assuming that I would have to force the ip by entering it
manually?

I'm sorry, I should have noted...

the line...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{813C26C9-
EB43-4993-BF12-2EDCEDF8FB42}]

is wrapped. It needs to be unwrapped to work.
