Can't take the IP via DHCP. 1

[yamcha]

Hi Friends.

I'am from Mexico and Sorry for my bad english.

I have 2 Win XP Pro installed, and both pc's take the ip adress with a DHCP 192.168.1.xxx, this service is included on my ZONET Router wich access the internet as well.
Today i start 1 Pc, and take the IP 169.254.60.179, and of course it can't see the router and the Internet.
I try to change the IP (Ipconfig /renew), but it does not work, i set the IP manually, and i can access the other PC and the router via PING, but the Internet Explorer does not work.
I have checked the Cables an all seems Ok.

Any Idea?

Thank You very Much.

1. Have you installed any new patches/updates? Any new programs?

2. Have you checked the cable, unplugged and replugged it?

Please always take the time to backup any and all data before performing any actions suggested for ANY problem, regardless of how minor a change it might seem. Also test the backup to make sure it is intact.
