[QUOTE="jvf, post: 1208230, member: 196366"] Hello, I’m new to the forum. Hope this post is in the right place. I’ve searched MAC and the web everywhere but can’t find an answer. My friend has a PC network with the broadband router using a 169.xxx.xxx addressing scheme for DHCP addresses. He wants to connect his wife’s Mac OS 10.5 laptop but when it gets the 169 address it freaks out and says no network available (or some such message-I forget). I tried assigning it a 169 address manually but it still didn’t work. She’s mad because she can’t connect to the Internet and I’m mad because I can’t figure this out. I don’t want to bring the whole network down changing the addressing scheme because I have VPN set up. HELP! [/QUOTE]
