Good Morning
Awhile back I had an issue with limited or no connectivity on a 3 computer network, the fine folks here at tech support forums help me by having me manually change my ip address on the computer in question. now several month later the other two computers have different ip addresses, they used to start with 192, now they start with 169. which has made the third computer not able to access the network again.
I changed the third one to 169 and it works again, however I have no idea why the other 2 changed to 169.
This is a wired network, I am connected over a linksys router the main computer has dial up internet that is only used for updateing antivirus and windows updates, this dial up is shared using ICS.

Thanks
