I have tried everything I know to get my internet connection to work.
I switched ethernet cables.
I tried to manually input I.P. address it says connected but when I try to go online page cannot be displayed. When I change the setting back to automaticlly detect IP adress it says limited or no connectivty again.
My IP address begins: 169.254.X.X is it true that ip addresses that start that way are invalid? Could that be the reson why my connection is down?
I have windows XP and I'm not sure what my modem is its from optimum cable company.
BTW when ever I get the popup saying i have no connection I also see this:
Status: Limited or no connectivity
Speed: 100.0
