I have a Linksys wireless access point router and a wireless-B adapter. I am using it on a notebook runing Windows XP Home. The icon says "wireless network connection 3 is connected and the signal strength is Excelllent". When I try to open the brouser it says "cannot find server". The IP address is 169.254.11.86, I am using RoadRunner and it should furnish the IP automatacilly. When I click repair it says "the following steps of the repair operation failed. renewing the IP adderss".
I tried using ipconfig/reset and it did not reset the IP. I think there is a way to reset the IP address by editing the regestry. To do that it says that you have to change the 1 to 0, but the only thing I could find is "Numinterfaces REG_DWORD 0Xooooooo4(4)" and I don't know if I should change the 4 to a 1 or 0.
