Re: Ethernet and wireless suddenly not working on Etch



Hi everyone,

I'm still not able to resolve my issue...=(  It seems to think my router is an IPv6 router, and I don't know how to make it see that's it's a regular IPv4 router only...

Any help is much appreciated.


Cheers,
-Glen

Looking at the broadcast clearly that should be 169.254.180.46.  The range from 169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255 is a special non-routable range which I believe indicates that your router is not connected to the Internet.

Try Googling 169.254.1.1
