NIC card grabbing an ip and subnet that is not on my system
I am using an intergrated nvidia nic adapter everything has been running great no problems till last night.
I logged on this morning and no internet access I opened a dos prompt and did ipconfig /all and found that my nic card wasnt grabbing dhcp from my linksys router. So I checked the other pc's that are conected to that router and they all have the right ip and subnet. So I did ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew and reboot , It still comes up with that other ip.
How can I unbind that ip from my nic. Is ther a virus out there doing this that I dont know of or what its driving me crazy LOL.
thanks for the help in advance

I am trying right now to see if I reinstall nvidia nforce drivers and configure the nic if that will fix the problem.
I am currious if anyone knows why it would just loose contact with dhcp from the router.

I did assign the nic a static manuly but and it takes it but still doesnt have any activity I am thinking the onboard nic is bad but that is really weird it would just go out like that...

I have come to the conclusion that the onboard nic is bad. sux....
Rinkrat76,
It does sound like a dodgy NIC.
It happens occasionally - but is very annoying.

The nic is onboard..
I disabled the nic and installed a 3com I had laying around and it was up no problem wich leads me to belive its the onboard nic.
I just tried to uninstall the 3com and re enable the onbard wich is nvidia onbard nic card. I got the same result 169.......
what is weird is i can ping the number so the nic must not be bad its just not obtaining the dhcp..
this is yukie..
