I know this isn't a computer problem site , and I looked for the answere; but can't find it.
Okay i've been recently trying to connect both computers to the internet, and the weird thing is that my LAN connection is connected but it won't lemme on the internet, I think my Ip address as something to do with it because I found out that an ip address that starts with 169 is an error ip address.
I've tried releasing it, renewing, and putting in another address manually i've also tried turning off my firewall and restarting, but it won't work. It won't lemme renew the ip address to get a new one.
I also found out that alot of other people are having a good time solving problems similair to this, so lets post the answere up here.
Any ideas, please help!
You need a router to split the signal. :)
I have a network hub, and evrything is pluged in.
Here is what microsoft has to say on the subject. :)

So, I need a router, not a network hub.
Umm... Where can I find a good cheap one?
They ain't cheap. About $50 :o
You can get them anywhere computer supplies are sold.
Man, That sucks o well, let ya know if it works, if we get one anyway.
Thanks for the help thats the most simplest answere anyones given me.
Much appreciated.
Your welcome. Good Luck. :)
