It WAS working when using a wireless adapter from one computer upstairs, but when I took the adapter out for the computer upstairs...the next day when I connected the wireless downstairs it went to 169.00 IP and I can't even get a connection as wireless.
The strange thing is that last summer it was hooked up exactly the same and worked.
oh.....
did you try powering the router on and off?
The other possibility is you have two wireless softwares fighting each other. Do you have a sireless adapter or something and then you loaded software?
What the heck? Are all these McCain supporters drinking cheap wine??
