Hi I have had the Netgear Router WGM124 for nearly 5 weeks, and now i ran into a serious problem. My three computers (all Win xp sp2) get an error message "limited or no connectivety." I havent messed with any of the router settings, and now i cant even access 192.168.1.1. I have tried releaseing the ip address, but once i renew it says timed out. I have ran a virus and spyware scan on all systems, and it found nothing. I have my firewall disabled. I had the latest firmware for the router (i have also tried to restore the defaults). I have uninstalled service pack 2 with no luck. I ran the service pack 2 fix, the winsock fix, registry fix with no luck. I have checked all the wires and they are all properly installed. I have power cycled numerous times. All my Led lights on the router are lit, but still no activety. When i ran ipconfig /all heres what I got:
Primary DNS server.....
Node type.........UNKNOWN
IP routing........no
WINS Proxy enabled.....no
Connection-specific DNS suffix
Dhcp enabled......yes
autoconfiguration enabled....yes
autoconfiguration ip address 169.254.xx.xxx
subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
default gateway.......
Please can anyone offer me any suggestions. (keep in mind im kind of new with networking, so i might need step-by-step help). I dont think the router is defective because it had worked for the past 4 weeks without a problem. Though, now i cant do anything.
