we need a big more info on your network. how many computers are you running on your network? what broadband connection do you have? do you have route? switch? sorry if im annoying your with my questions but definitely more info is needed.

Have you resolved the problem in this thread? Default Gateway is Missing :(

If not, I suggest we close this thread and work on this in the thread in the XP forum.

So you are on a differant internet connection and router than you were in the other post?

If so, you should go back to the xp post and tell them you no longer need help on that thread.

You are getting a 169.x.x.x. ip address. This says that the router is not giving windows an ip address.
