I'll be using the internet, for about 5 - 10 minutes and suddenly I get the box "limited or no connectivity", and the internet goes out, and I see that I have a 169 ip address. I used the command "ipconfig" and got this information:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

C:\Documents and Settings\ja>ipconfig

I've had this problem for well over 5 months, so if you can help me fix this problem, I would really, REALLY appreciate it! Thanks
